Fuel Storage System Specification Example for Courier Fleets: Vented Design
Fuel Storage System Specification Example for Courier Fleets: Vented Design
This is a worked specification for fuel storage system in a vented design 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 vented design version exists because the duty cycle on courier fleets is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually documentation that arrived after the container shipped.
Example specification
| Item | Fuel Storage System |
|---|---|
| Application | Courier Fleets |
| Version | Vented Design |
| Base material | Tempered Glass |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.1 mm |
| Finish | anodised |
| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | REACH |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Tempered Glass, 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
- powder coating
- robot welding
- gravity casting
- die casting
- cold forging
- heat treatment
Where this example applies
Programmes that run vented design most often specify this build for courier fleets. Related applications include camper conversions, passenger cars, off-road bikes, scooter fleets, racing teams.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 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.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the REACH-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 2000 pieces per line.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
