Diesel Engine Fuel System Specification Example for Three-Wheelers: Drilled and Slotted
Diesel Engine Fuel System Specification Example for Three-Wheelers: Drilled and Slotted
This is a worked specification for diesel engine fuel system in a drilled and slotted programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The drilled and slotted version exists because the duty cycle on three-wheelers is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a supplier who changed material without saying so.
Example specification
| Item | Diesel Engine Fuel System |
|---|---|
| Application | Three-Wheelers |
| Version | Drilled and Slotted |
| Base material | Semi-Metallic Compound |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.05 mm |
| Finish | anodised |
| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | ECE R90 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Semi-Metallic Compound, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- surface grinding
- shot blasting
- ultrasonic cleaning
- gravity casting
- precision stamping
- injection moulding
Where this example applies
Programmes that run drilled and slotted most often specify this build for three-wheelers. Related applications include scooter fleets, trailer axles, camper conversions, delivery vans, aftermarket retail.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. ECE R90 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 2000 pieces per line.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the ECE R90-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
