Aluminium tanks for fuel, oil and coolant
At QSP Products you will find a wide range of aluminium tanks for various technical applications. The range includes aluminium fuel tanks, fuel catch tanks, oil catch tanks, expansion tanks, windscreen washer tanks and related tank accessories.
Aluminium combines low weight with a strong construction, making it an excellent material for tanks and reservoirs. These tanks are used in automotive, motorsport, off-road, machine building, industry and offshore applications. Depending on the type of tank, it can be used for storing, collecting or buffering fuel, oil, coolant or windscreen washer fluid.
Aluminium fuel tanks
In race cars, custom-built vehicles and other technical projects, the standard fuel tank can be replaced by an aluminium fuel tank or dedicated racing tank. QSP Products offers various aluminium fuel tanks that can be used as the main tank for supplying fuel to the engine.
QSP fuel tanks are designed for universal applications and feature connections with internal threads. Suitable adapters and fittings can be used to adapt the connections to the required fuel line size and configuration.
Aluminium fuel catch tank and swirl pot
In addition to fuel tanks, QSP Products offers aluminium fuel catch tanks. A fuel catch tank, also commonly referred to as a swirl pot or swirl tank, acts as an additional fuel reservoir within the fuel system.
During intensive circuit driving, motorsport or off-road use, fuel inside the main tank can move to one side under strong lateral forces. This can potentially cause the fuel pump to temporarily receive an insufficient supply of fuel. A correctly installed fuel catch tank provides a buffer of fuel that remains available for the engine.
The catch tank is installed as part of the fuel system between the main fuel tank and the engine. The exact configuration depends on the vehicle, fuel pumps and design of the fuel system.
Oil catch tank for crankcase ventilation
An aluminium oil catch tank serves a different purpose from a fuel catch tank. An oil catch tank is used to collect oil and oil vapours from systems such as the crankcase or valve cover ventilation.
This can help prevent oil carried through the ventilation system from entering the intake system directly. The collected oil remains in the catch tank and can subsequently be drained. Oil catch tanks are therefore commonly used on modified engines, performance vehicles and motorsport applications.
Aluminium expansion tank for cooling systems
An aluminium expansion tank can form part of a cooling system and provides space for coolant and changes in coolant volume. This can be useful in vehicles, machinery and custom cooling systems where the original reservoir cannot be used or a different mounting position is required.
When selecting an expansion tank, always consider its capacity, dimensions, connections and the requirements of the specific cooling system.
Universal aluminium windscreen washer tank
Universal aluminium windscreen washer tanks are also available for custom-built vehicles, modified vehicles and other technical projects. They provide a compact solution when the original washer reservoir is not available or cannot be installed in the required location.
QSP universal windscreen washer tanks are equipped with a pump, making them easy to integrate into a windscreen washer system.
Aluminium tanks for automotive and technical applications
Although aluminium tanks are widely used in automotive and motorsport applications, various designs are also suitable for other technical applications. These include machine building, industry, off-road vehicles, agricultural machinery, commercial vehicles, offshore and custom projects.
The most suitable aluminium tank depends on the intended application. Always consider the required capacity, dimensions, connections, mounting method and compatibility of the tank with the fluid being used.
