Abstract

Abstract

Vehicles are apt to catch fire easily in high-temperature weather or in traffic accidents. When their fuel tanks cook off, an explosion may occur, thereby posing a hazard to personal safety. To investigate the cook-off performance of fuel tanks, we conducted 4 tests on 76L fuel tanks under different airtight conditions and infillings, and obtained the surface and internal temperatures and the size of the fireballs using an infrared thermal imager, thermocouples and a camera. The experimental results show that the explosion may occur when the fuel outlets are closed and the fuel tank is not filled with explosion suppression balls. In our experiments, the highest surface temperature of the explosion fireball was above 1800K, and the volume of the fireball was 1600 times more than that of the fuel tank. The explosion suppression balls filled in the tanks decreased the highest surface temperature and sizes of the jet fire. Under the same conditions, the average heating rate and the highest temperature of the diesel fuel vapor were 36.0% and 16.2% lower than that of the gasoline vapor respectively.
