A heavy vehicle modular fuel tank (2), comprising a plurality of bowl shaped modules (3,13, 23) having an open end (5) and a bowl end (4), which modules are connected to one another in a row in a longitudinal direction (L) with the open end of one module facing the bowl end of another module, each of the modules having a space for accommodating fuel and the spaces being in communication with each other by means of holes in the bowl ends. The modular fuel tank has a varying cross section along the longitudinal direction so as to be adapted to a heavy vehicle chassis. The modules are preferably formed by molding. Having a variety of differing standard modules which can be combined to fit different chassis is naturally cost effective, and thus, modular fuel tanks in accordance with the present invention can be utilized across a wide variety of heavy vehicle platforms in a cost effective manner. |
