0707071042 - ESAB Fuel Tank Vibration Absorber Mat

Critical Vibration Isolation for Engine-Driven Equipment

The ESAB Absorber Mat Of Fuel Tank (SKU: 0707071042) is a specialized engineering component designed to maintain the structural integrity of fuel systems within ESAB engine-driven welding power sources. In the harsh environment of industrial welding, engine-driven machines are subjected to continuous high-frequency vibration and mechanical shock. Without adequate isolation, these forces are transferred directly to static components, such as the fuel tank, leading to metal fatigue, stress fractures, and ultimately, hazardous fuel leaks. This absorber mat serves as the primary interface between the rigid chassis and the fuel reservoir, effectively decoupling the tank from the vibrational energy of the engine.

Manufactured to ESAB's precise OEM specifications, this absorber mat utilizes materials selected for their durability and resistance to hydrocarbon exposure. In an engine compartment, components are frequently exposed to diesel or gasoline vapors, oil mist, and elevated temperatures. Generic rubber mats often degrade rapidly under these conditions, losing their elasticity and dampening properties. The ESAB 0707071042 is engineered to retain its dimensional stability and shock-absorbing characteristics over a long service life, ensuring consistent protection for the fuel tank assembly.

Maintenance professionals understand that preventative replacement of isolation components is far more cost-effective than repairing structural damage. A compromised absorber mat can allow the fuel tank to shift or rub against the frame, creating abrasion points that compromise the tank wall. By installing this genuine ESAB part, technicians ensure that the equipment remains compliant with safety standards and operational reliability requirements. This component is an essential stock item for fleet maintenance managers and repair centers servicing ESAB engine-driven welding generators.

Installation of the absorber mat should be performed according to the specific service manual for the host machine. Proper seating of the mat ensures that the weight of the fuel is distributed evenly, preventing stress concentrations on the tank mounting points. Trusting genuine ESAB parts for these critical applications guarantees fitment accuracy and material performance that aftermarket alternatives cannot reliably match.
