| 摘要 | A fuel tank is configured to be selectively coupled to a chassis of the locomotive based on an anticipated change in axle load capacity of a railroad. The fuel tank includes a body, a coupling device, and a lifting adapter. The coupling device is configured to releasably couple the body to the chassis of the locomotive. The lifting adapter is configured to releasably engage with a lifting implement of a machine. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A fuel tank configured to be selectively coupled to a chassis of a locomotive based on an anticipated change in axle load capacity of a railroad, the fuel tank including: a body; a coupling device configured to releasably couple the body to the chassis; a lifting adapter configured to releasably engage with a lifting implement of a machine; a fill port disposed on the body; a fuel level indicator configured to indicate a fill level of the fuel; and a breather tube configured to allow equalization of fluid pressure within the fuel tank, wherein the fuel tank is configured to be selectively coupled to the chassis of the locomotive such that an axle load of the locomotive lies between a maximum and minimum axle load capacity of the railroad, and the fuel tank is a second fuel tank in relation to a first fuel tank associated with the locomotive. | ||
