A system for storing an internal combustion engine exhaust gas liquid additive, and including a tank for storing the additive, the tank including two halve shells manufactured as two separate parts that are assembled, at least one of the shells including an active component fixed inside of it.

Engine exhaust gas additive storage system

A reservoir for holding a quantity of fluid within a tank, the reservoir including a first resistive element for heating a first part of the tank and a second resistive element for heating a second part of the tank, the second resistive element having a positive temperature coefficient. The reservoir further includes a third resistive element for heating the second part of the tank, the second resistive element and the third resistive element forming a parallel circuit, and the first resistive element being connected in series with the parallel circuit.

Reservoir and tank equipped with a self-regulating heating element

A method for manufacturing a flexible heater that has a resistive track enclosed in two sheets of electrically insulating plastic material is provided. The resistive track of the flexible heater has electrical connections to which electrical wires are connected.
