1、Test ProcedureRoad GME8713Fuel Tank Capacity and Fill PerformanceNote: This specification may be applied only for current projects incl. Global Epsilon (37#). It isSuperceded for all future projects and replaced by GMW14508 and GMW15198.1 IntroductionNote: Nothinginthisstandardsupersedesapplicablela

Fuel system is in design (curbmass) position for level ground and not moving (seeGME8712).Specified Fuel Capacity: The amount of fuel th

8、Capacity Evaluation the test shallbe performed at “6 oclock nozzle position” with flowrates defined in SSTS and temperatures defined inparagraph 3.3.4. Vehicle on a flat surface and underinclination of 6 % (left-, right-, front-, rear up).4.3.1.2 Customer Usable Fuel System Capacity isreached after

10、rates defined in SSTS and temperatures defined inparagraph 3.3.4. Vehicle on a flat surface and underinclination of 6 % (left -, right -, front -, rear up).Overfill Prevention Rate: after last fill step (asdescribed above) continue filling until the fuel levelis up to the filler cup. The fuel shall

11、be kept 30 s atthis level by filling very slowly.a Drain the tank.b Insert nozzle (handle down) as far as possible.c Engage filler nozzle on fast fill rate. Wait for auto-matic shutoff.d Wait 10 s, engage nozzle on fast fill rate. Fuelnozzle still inserted as far as possible. Wait untilautomatic shu
