Fuel Tanks for Machinery, Systems, and Vehicle Technology

NovaNox® offers a variety of solutions for storing fuels such as petrol, diesel, or gas. These fuel tanks are connected to the combustion chamber in machinery, systems, and vehicle technology, playing a crucial role in fuel supply. Due to daily use and the associated mechanical stresses, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations, the tanks must meet high requirements.

NovaNox® offers stainless steel tanks, steel tanks, and aluminium tanks that can be adapted to individual installation possibilities, allowing for maximum utilisation of the filling volume.

Additionally, the tanks can be equipped with tank caps, gauges, sensors, or fuel filters to form a complete system solution. As a system supplier, NovaNox® manages processes including schedule monitoring, quality control, and final assembly to maximise fit accuracy and efficiency.

We are an experienced Tier-1 supplier in tank technology, developing and producing individual fuel tanks with desired volumes for manufacturers of machinery, systems, and vehicle technology. Our NovaNox® tanks can also be used as water tanks. With modern manufacturing capabilities, we realise fuel tanks for every installation situation – from simple to complex geometries. We also supply suitable components, such as tank ventilation valves, to compensate for the negative pressure created between the fuel tanks and the intake manifolds.

NovaNox® fuel tanks are offered in various designs, such as steel, stainless steel, or aluminium fuel tanks. This allows our fuel tanks to be individually adapted to the installation possibilities, even in particularly confined spaces. This ensures maximum utilisation of the fuel tank's filling volume and enables a longer fuel supply for machinery, systems, and vehicles. Our solutions offer ideal conditions for increasing productivity through extended operating times.

The cleaning of a diesel tank occurs constantly. This is due to diesel itself, as it is a mixture of various crude oil distillates and is therefore very similar to petroleum. Petroleum is used in many different cleaning agents. When cleaning with a petroleum-containing cleaning agent, dirt particles are encapsulated in such a way that no scratches are left behind. Furthermore, petroleum dissolves waxes, greases, carbon deposits, and oil sludge.

To clean the tank from the inside, drain the liquid from the tank and fill it with diesel. Then, let the engine run at idle speed for a few minutes. As a next step, remove the contaminated fuel from the oil lines and change the oil filter. Finally, you must refill with fresh engine oil to ensure a smooth resumption of operation.

Please note during cleaning that fuel and petroleum are environmentally harmful and must not be discharged into wastewater. The same applies to used rags. You must dispose of these utensils according to local regulations. Also, bear in mind that this is a toxic cleaning agent which, if swallowed or inhaled, can have fatal consequences. Therefore, always wear protective gloves and ensure the room is adequately ventilated.

Another way to clean your tank is to rinse it with liquids that have similar properties to diesel. These include petrol, methylated spirits, or a special tank cleaner. To be absolutely sure during your cleaning process, the tank can also be blown out with compressed air.

The manufacturing of NovaNox® fuel tanks is carried out both in large series and small series. It is possible to produce large quantities of fuel tanks with various cross-sections and lengths. Our production facilities automatically implement high-quality work steps such as trimming, forming, reshaping, and punching for filler necks. The focus here is on a precisely fitting result that is tailored exactly to your requirements.

Both hand-welded and robot-welded constructions are available. Hand-welded constructions are characterised by robust weld seams, which are produced on modern 3D welding tables using MIG, TIG, and MAG processes.

Inert gases such as nitrogen, helium, or neon are used in the MIG process, and active gases such as carbon dioxide in the MAG process. In the TIG process, a tungsten electrode is used to generate the arc, while shielding gases protect the material.

Thanks to our in-house jig and fixture construction, low tolerances and permanent repeatability are guaranteed. Modern clamping options, clamping elements, and fixing aids enable a fluid workflow.

Robot-welded constructions, on the other hand, impress with their lasting precision for high tolerance requirements and are ideally suited for series production. Thanks to the fully automated process, repeat accuracy and repeatability are very high.
