The fuel lines shall <br />be connected with reusable steel fittings. <br />ELECTRIC FUEL PRIMER <br />Integral to the engine assembly is an electric lift pump that serves the purpose of pre-filter fuel <br />priming. <br />FUEL COOLER <br />A fuel cooler shall be provided to lower fuel temperature allowing the vehicle to operate at higher <br />ambient temperatures. The fuel cooler shall include an electrical fan and temperature-controlled <br />relay switch. <br />FUEL TANK <br />The fuel tank shall have a capacity of fifty (50) gallons and shall measure 35.00 inches in width X <br />19.00 inches in height X 18.50 inches in length. The increased height and reduced length allows <br />for the use of a shorter rear frame overhang on the chassis. <br />The baffled tank shall have a vent port to facilitate venting to the top of the fill neck for rapid filling <br />without “blow-back” and a roll over ball check vent for temperature related fuel expansion and <br />draw. <br />The tank is designed with dual draw tubes and sender flanges. The tank shall have 2.00 inch NPT <br />fill ports for right or left hand fill. A 0.50 inch NPT drain plug shall be centered in the bottom of the <br />tank. <br />The fuel tank shall be mounted below the frame, behind the rear axle. Two (2) three-piece strap <br />hanger assemblies with “U” straps bolted midway on the fuel tank front and rear shall be utilized <br />to allow the tank to be easily lowered and removed for service purposes. Rubber isolating pads <br />shall be provided between the tank and the upper tank mounting brackets. Strap mounting studs <br />through the rail, hidden behind the body shall not be acceptable. <br />FUEL TANK MATERIAL AND FINISH <br />The fuel tank shall be constructed of 12-gauge aluminized steel. The exterior of the tank shall be <br />powder coated black and then painted to match the frame components. <br />All powder coatings, primers and paint shall be compatible with all metals, pretreatments and <br />primers used. The cross-hatch adhesion test per ASTM D3359 Method B, results to be 5B <br />minimum. The pencil hardness test per ASTM D3363 shall have a final post-curved pencil <br />hardness of H-2H. The direct impact resistance test per ASTM D2794, results to be 5B minimum. <br />ATTY/AGR.2025.089/Fire Apparatus Solutions (Purchase of Spartan-LTC 105' TDA) (Page 40 of 150)
