Rubber Fuel Seal – How to Design the Perfect One
                     Rubber Fuel Seal – How to Design the
Perfect One?
There are a few factors that need to be kept in mind when designing fuel seals. 
 Temperature ranges that the given rubber variants can work in: Fuel seals are made up of
different  types  of  rubber.  The kind of  rubber  variants  used for  a  particular  fuel  seal
depends upon the type of fuel used in the application. Not all rubber variants can work in
the same temperature ranges and fuels. Only one or two type of rubber is suitable as fuel
seals  material  for  each  of  the  application.  It  is  important  therefore  to  take  into
consideration the kind of temperature ranges that the chosen rubber variant can work in
when choosing the same for fuel seals. 
 Maximum  temperature  required:  The  kind  of  exposure  to  the  temperature  that  the
application involves is one of the most important factors in designing the fuel seals. Other
than  the  kind  of  temperature  range  the  application  calls  for,  the  highest  degree  of
temperature  that  may  be  required  for  the  same  is  also  one  of  the  most  important
considerations. 
 Resistance to fluids:  Fuel seals are used for resisting fuels. It is important to take into
account how the fluids used in applications would behave in high and low temperatures
and design the fuel seals likewise.
 Expert  advice:  One should not choose the fuel  seals  randomly;  it  is  important  to  get
expert  scientific  advice  on  the  matter.  Thermal  expansion,  out  gassing  and  chemical
background  are  all  such  factors  that  need  to  be  taken  into  account  for  each  of  the
application when choosing the material for fuel seals. 
 Necessity for the margin: It is also important that one keeps a little margin either ways of
the temperature range when choosing the polymer for the fuel seal.
