Filler assembly for automobile fuel tank
The fuel tank assembly for an automobile comprises a substantially box-shaped bottom portion having a top peripheral flange; several highly porous filler packets or blocks made from metal foil mesh material received in the tank, each packet being formed from two to ten layers of metal foil mesh material, and some of said packets being folded over, thereby to substantially fill the tank with the highly porous packets or blocks, and a top tank cover plate sealed to the top peripheral flange. The method for constructing an anti-fuel-splashing and anti-rupturing automobile fuel tank comprises the steps of: providing a generally box-shaped fuel tank bottom portion having a top peripheral flange; providing in the tank a generally trough or cage shaped enclosure surrounding an inlet to the fuel tank; providing a plurality of packets or blocks, some of which are foldable, and which are made of two to ten layers of a metal foil mesh material; and, inserting the packets or blocks into the fuel tank to substantially fill said fuel tank with said packets or blocks made of layers of metal foil mesh material and sealing a cover plate to the top peripheral flange to complete construction of the fuel tank.
