In this study, In this study, structural analysis of a fuel tank for an SUV (sports utility vehicle) was performed for crack prevention design. Reservoir tank analysis was conducted for crack prevention design, and improvement measures for weak areas were discovered and reflected in the design. Pressure analysis was performed on the existing model to analyze weak areas. As a result of analysis through various design changes, it was found that the strength problem of the reservoir tank was due to the discontinuity of the rib inside the tank, and to improve this, it was necessary to minimize the discontinuity section.
