Fuel Tank for TVS Apache RTR 160: Two-Piece Construction

Fuel Tank for TVS Apache RTR 160: Two-Piece Construction

This fuel tank is built for the TVS Apache RTR 160 and supplied to a written specification, so the part that comes off the line in the next order matches the one you approved. Fitment, base material and finish are fixed before sampling starts — that is what keeps the two-piece construction programme stable once it moves from first order to repeat order.

Most buyers come to us after something went wrong: packing that arrived crushed at the port, or a supplier who changed material without saying so. Both are avoidable when the specification is written down before bulk and the approved sample is kept as the reference.

Specification

What decides whether it lasts

• Material — Titanium Alloy is the base; treat any substitution as a new approval.
• Hardness and heat treatment — recorded per lot, not per batch of paperwork.
• Fitment tolerance — checked on the actual TVS Apache RTR 160 mounting, not on a catalogue drawing.
• Finish — zinc plating holds up where the machine sees salt, mud and daily washing.
• Packing — individual packing plus inner cartons sized for the workshop bench.

Processes used on this line

• heat treatment
• precision stamping
• die casting
• surface grinding
• electroplating
• cold forging

Fitment notes

Check whether the mounting points on your market version match the catalogue drawing — regional variants are the usual cause of a wrong first order.

Where it is used

The two-piece construction build is the one most often ordered for weekend riding. Riders also fit it for mining sites, long-distance touring, coastal delivery, security patrols.

Ordering

1. Confirm the model year and frame number before ordering.
2. Approve a sample made from the actual bulk material.
3. Fix the packing and marking at quotation stage.
4. Book inspection before the balance payment, not after it.

Questions buyers ask

How long does sampling take?

Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.

Do you handle mixed containers?

Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.

What testing is included?

Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. ISO/TS 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.

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.

Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
