Fuel Storage System Specification Example for Agricultural Trailers: Lightweight Version
Fuel Storage System Specification Example for Agricultural Trailers: Lightweight Version
This is a worked specification for fuel storage system in a lightweight version 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 lightweight version version exists because the duty cycle on agricultural trailers is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench.
Example specification
| Item | Fuel Storage System |
|---|---|
| Application | Agricultural Trailers |
| Version | Lightweight Version |
| Base material | Tempered Glass |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.2 mm |
| Finish | powder coated |
| MOQ | 1,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | IATF 16949 |
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
- electroplating
- sintering
- heat treatment
- shot blasting
- rubber vulcanisation
- robot welding
Where this example applies
Programmes that run lightweight version most often specify this build for agricultural trailers. Related applications include agricultural trailers, emergency vehicles, three-wheelers, racing teams, off-road bikes.
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
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 1000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. IATF 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the IATF 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
