Starting from 1st September 2009 in Italy all diesel oil tanks shall conform to the European Community Directives 2006/20/CE and 200/8/CE.
In the above mentioned directives, with reference to the European Community Directive 70/221/CEE, it is clearly indicated to limit the steam issues coming from the tank filler pipe and caused by the diesel oil spreading during the vehicle ride in case of omission of the filler cap.
The above mentioned date was established by the Italian Ministry of Infrastructures and Transport in the circular letter no. 90150 dated 10/11/2008.

In order to be in conformity with the European Community Directives the R&D department of Padoan has developed a new filler pipe equipped with an internal door kept in right position by a spring.
The door opening and closing are simple and automatic: the filler cap door opens by inserting the  refuelling gun and it closes just by removing the refuelling gun.

The perfect match of convenience and functionality increases the safety on the road,  reduces pollution and guarantees to the users the utmost confidence in the product.
This device for diesel oil tanks represents for Padoan another step of the several innovations offered to the users of tanks for industrial vehicles.
