This fuel tank dam closes a gap between a first structural component fixed to the inside surface of the outer plate of a fuel tank and a second structural component provided with a cutout part into which the first structural component is inserted. This fuel tank dam includes: a first portion that can be fixed to the first structural component; a second portion that has a surface extending in a direction intersecting with the first portion and can be fixed to the second structural component; and a third portion that has a bellows and is disposed between the first portion and the second portion. This fuel tank dam is configured such that the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion are integrated, the bellows has a thickness of 0.381 to 1.524 mm, and the second portion has a thickness of 0.762 to 7.620 mm.

Fuel tank dam

A fuel tank dam comprises a first section, a second section, a third section, and a flange section. The first section can be fixed to a first structural component, and the second section can be fixed to a second structural component. The third section has a bellows comprising a plurality of folded sections and is disposed between the first section and the second section. The flange section extends along an outer plate at least from an edge section of the third section and can be fixed to the outer plate.

The method for producing an assembly is a method for producing an assembly equipped with a member to be reinforced (), a reinforcing member body (), and a filler (), wherein the reinforcing member body () has a pair of flanges () arranged spaced on the surface (B) of the member to be reinforced (), a web (), and a connection portion () which connects the flanges () and the web () and forms a filler space (V) with the surface (B). The method for producing an assembly includes a step for inserting a filler () into the filler space (V), a step for attaching a crack control member () to cover the end of the filler (), a step for joining the flanges () and the member to be reinforced (), and a step for curing at least the member to be reinforced ().
