Installing the Fuel Tank - Aluminum, L-Shaped, 65 Gallon - (Option)
Important Fuel Tank Installation Information
NOTE: These instructions are written exclusively for, and are limited
to, the installation of the aluminum L-Shaped 65 gallon fuel tank,
positioned directly under a Thermo King HK heating unit, and
mounted onto the front wall of a trailer or intermodal container
designed specifically for this application. All other installations are
the responsibilities of the installer.
A.
FUEL TANK POSITION
•
Thermo King recommends the fuel tank be centered directly under
the HK heating unit.
B. TANK STRAP POSITION
•
Fuel tank mounting brackets and support straps must be positioned
1225 mm (48.25 in.) apart to properly support the weight of the
tank and fuel.
•
The tank straps must fit into the strap guides located on the top of
the fuel tank.
C. RUBBER STRIPS AND PADS
•
Rubber strips must be properly installed on the mounting brackets,
and mounting bands to prevent metal to aluminum contact.
D. MOUNTING HARDWARE
•
Grade 5 mounting hardware is supplied to secure the tank to the
mounting brackets.
•
Mounting hardware to secure the complete fuel tank and mounting
bracket assembly onto the trailer or container is to be supplied by
the installer and must be 1/2-13 UNC (rolled thread), Medium
Carbon Steel (Grade 5 or better) with Zinc Plate and Dichromate
finish.
•
All mounting hardware must be properly installed and torqued to
the specifications listed.
DANGER: An improperly installed fuel tank could lead to
serious injury or death! The mounting hardware to secure the
fuel tank and mounting brackets onto the front wall of the
trailer or intermodal container is to be supplied by the installer
and must be 1/2-13 UNC (rolled thread), Medium Carbon Steel
(Grade 5 or better) with Zinc Plate and Dichromate finish.
Additionally, the front wall of the trailer or intermodal container
must be structurally strong enough to safely support the
combined total weight of the HK heating unit, the fuel tank and
mounting brackets and 65 gallons of diesel fuel (see chart
below). Consult your trailer or intermodal container
manufacturer for details regarding your specific installation.
