Fuel Storage System Specification Example for Delivery Vans: Standard Replacement
Fuel Storage System Specification Example for Delivery Vans: Standard Replacement
This is a worked specification for fuel storage system in a standard replacement 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 standard replacement version exists because the duty cycle on delivery vans is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.
Example specification
| Item | Fuel Storage System |
|---|---|
| Application | Delivery Vans |
| Version | Standard Replacement |

| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | ISO/TS 16949 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Powder Coated Steel, 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
- CNC machining
- ultrasonic cleaning
- gravity casting
- surface grinding
- laser cutting
- die casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run standard replacement most often specify this build for delivery vans. Related applications include camper conversions, light trucks, workshop replacements, off-road bikes, courier fleets.
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
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 200 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
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.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
