Feasibility Test (Cold Regions Phase) of Plastic Fuel Tanks for Truck Cargo: 5-Ton, 6x6, M809 Series,

Abstract

During 1976/1977, 1/4-ton truck plastic fuel tanks were evaluated in conjunction with cold regions test of the M151A2, 1/4-ton truck (Product Improved) tests. A plastic fuel tank has since been designed and manufactured for use on 5-ton trucks and evaluation of these tanks under cold regions conditions has been requested by Tank-Automotive Research and Development Command (TARADCOM). The test fuel tanks are manufactured of plastic and are the standard 55-gallon capacity. The test tanks are intended to replace the steel fuel tanks on 5-ton trucks. (Author)
