AUSblue, Australia’s premier manufacturer and distributer of VDA certified AdBlue have found the perfect solution to costly repairs and maintenance to corroding and rusting tanks – poly liquid transport tanks from Rapid Spray.
Some tanks when used for storing and transporting AdBlue or diesel are prone to rust and corrosion. This is caused not only by the liquid itself, but by a build-up of condensation in the tank with moisture ingress partly due to the heating and cooling of the tank during normal operation. The expansion and contraction creates a vacuum inside the tank that draws in more moisture from the outside air, resulting in rust and corrosion.
The increased temperatures seen in most types of metal tanks causes moisture to condense at the bottom of the tank (and in some applications sit below the diesel) resulting in further rust. Once this rust begins to flake off into the liquid, any filter present in the tank will become blocked, flow will be restricted, and pumps may be damaged. Also, small fragments of rust will potentially find their way into the liquid contaminating it.
Contamination by small fragments of rust in diesel or AdBlue can cause lasting damage to the vehicle. The best case scenario will see poor performance or in the worst case, internal damage can be caused to the injection system and result in costly repairs.
As poly tanks never rust or corrode, this problem is alleviated. Poly tanks maintain a more stable temperature, meaning that little condensation is produced. Filters remain clean and pumps are free from fragments of deteriorating surfaces allowing them to continue to work at full capacity.
Poly tanks are also incredibly lightweight, meaning a greater payload when transporting liquid of any kind and can also be upgraded with Rapid Spray’s ball baffle system for reduced slosh and surge when the vehicle is in motion – meaning greater operator comfort and safety plus reduced wear and tear on brakes.
Available in sizes to suit any vehicle and budget, poly liquid transport tanks from Rapid Spray are the perfect solution as they will never rust and corrode and have amazing impact resistance – ideal for coping with chassis twist.
