The present invention relates to a fuel tank leakage inspection system and an inspection method which are capable of inspecting leaks due to manufacturing errors or design errors around fused portions and connector joint portions of fuel tanks.
In the case of a fuel tank, it can be made of steel or plastic, and it is usually manufactured by separately fabricating the upper and lower parts and welding them together.
Various types of connectors for fuel transfer and fuel gas discharge are connected to the fuel tank, and these connectors are generally assembled together when manufacturing the fuel tank.
In the fuel tank manufactured as described above, if a minute manufacturing error occurs in the fused portion and the connector-coupled portion, there is a possibility that the fuel inside the fuel tank is leaked at the time of subsequent use, which is not very safe and environmentally friendly.
Therefore, when the fuel tank is put into a separate sealed chamber to perform the leak test, if the fuel tank is simply inserted into the chamber and the special test gas is injected to judge the leak, the leakage is detected. I can not tell if there is a defect and leak.
Therefore, in conducting the leak inspection, it is necessary not only to judge whether the product is defective or not, but also to be able to precisely detect the error in any part.

The inspection method will be described with reference to the drawings. First, the fuel tank is installed in the test chamber. And the test chamber is sealed.
Then, each sealing pipe is tightly attached to the connector coupling portion through the cylinder extension. Then, the entire valve is opened and the outer vacuum pump is activated to vacuum the test chamber, the sealing pipe, and the transfer line. Further, the inner vacuum pump is operated to form the inside of the fuel tank in a vacuum. This completes the test preparation.
Then, helium gas is injected into the fuel tank from the external test gas tank.
In this state, all of the test gas is filled in the fuel tank. In this state, the valve of the coupling part of the filler neck connector is opened and checked for leaks. After the check, the valve is closed and only the other valve is opened so that the fused portion and all the connector engagement portions are sequentially checked in this order.
After all checks have been completed, return the test chamber and fuel tank to atmospheric pressure and withdraw the fuel tank to repair or replace any leaking parts or to supplement the design itself.
