NMFC 175860 - Fuel Tank Fill Signals | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Immobilize indicator tubes and float assemblies with dense foam and corner blocking; for single units, use a double-wall box with dividers to prevent scuffing.
2. Label cartons clearly: “Non-Electric Fuel Tank Signals” and “Fragile—Calibration Parts.” Include a contents sheet for gaskets, caps, and rods to speed receiving checks.
3. Match packaging to the job: wood crate for multi-unit fleet or terminal deliveries; 275# double-wall corrugated box for single replacements to marine or fuel station sites.
4. Rate and book at Class 85—no density needed. Note the outer pack (box or crate) and piece count on the BOL to avoid inspection disputes.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Predictable Class 85 rating reduces reclass penalties and keeps lane pricing stable.
• Non-hazardous, non-electric components bypass battery and hazmat add-ons, easing carrier acceptance.
• Flexible box-or-crate options let you right-size packing, cutting materials and dimensional weight charges.
• Faster quoting and order turnaround since density data isn’t required for this item.
