  • Publication number: 20150354429
    Abstract: A method for monitoring urea concentration and quality in a urea solution stored in a tank of an SCR system. The system comprising a pump driven by a motor and the pressure of which is controlled by a controller. The method comprises the steps of:—measuring a parameter value characteristic of the energy transmitted by the motor to the pump;—determining a urea concentration value based upon the parameter value characteristic of the energy transmitted by the motor to the pump.

  • Patent number: 9079490
    Abstract: Method for fastening an accessory to a wall of a plastic fuel tank, this fastening taking place by snap-riveting using a tool at the same time as the tank is manufactured by molding, the accessory being, for this purpose, provided at at least one of its fastening points with an orifice through which the snap-riveting is carried out. According to the invention, a concave relief at least partially surrounds this orifice, the relief having a size and shape suitable for being able to cooperate with an excrescence of the tool during the snap-riveting.

  • Patent number: 8372331
    Abstract: Process for manufacturing a plastic fuel tank equipped with an internal line by molding a parison using a mold comprising two cavities and a core, comprising the following steps: introducing the parison into the mold cavities; introducing the core inside the parison, said core having first been fitted with the line; closing the mold so that the cavities come into leaktight contact with the core; pressing the parison against the cavities by blowing through the core and/or applying a vacuum behind the cavities; fastening the line to the parison over at least two points using a device attached to the core; opening the mold to withdraw the core; and carrying out the final molding of the parison by blow molding and/or thermoforming, in which the line comprises, between its fastening points, a free length that is capable of coming into contact with the parison and/or with an accessory found thereon when the mold is closed, and wherein during the fastening step, at least one intermediate fastening point is created u

  • Publication number: 20120006476
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a plastic fuel tank including: a) inserting a plastic parison including two distinct parts into an open two-cavity mold; b) inserting a core, bearing at least part of a reinforcing element configured to create a link between the two parison parts, inside the parison; c) pressing the parison firmly against the mold cavities, for example by blowing through the core and/or creating suction behind the cavities; d) fixing the part of the reinforcing element to at least one of the parison parts using the core; e) withdrawing the core; f) closing the mold, bringing its two cavities together to grip the two parison parts around their periphery to weld them together; g) injecting a pressurized fluid into the mold and/or creating a vacuum behind the mold cavities to press the parison firmly against the mold cavities; and h) opening the mold and extracting the tank.
