Plastic fuel tanks for cars

– made of a modern composite material based on polyester resin, glass fibre and carbon fabric. Our tanks have a high degree of reliability and are close to steel in terms of stability/impact resistance.

Our fuel tank manufacturing technology is designed to meet the scope, tolerances and adjustments of the technical design of the fuel tank as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

! Each fuel tank is tested after manufacture to ensure that there are no fuel and/or vapour leaks.

A plastic car fuel tank is the best substitute for a metal tank.
Advantages of plastic fuel tanks compared to metal tanks:

1) Plastic fuel tank not subject to corrosion
The plastic tank is not subject to corrosion or rotting, so it lasts much longer than a metal fuel tank.

2) Lightweight plastic fuel tank
A polymer fuel tank can be 40-50% lighter than a metal tank. This weight reduction has two main effects on vehicle performance.

  • Reduced fuel consumption: thanks to the low weight of the plastic tank (6-8 kg), the overall weight of the vehicle is reduced, resulting in a 2-3% reduction in fuel consumption.
  • Reduced CO2 emissions: for every 50 kg less vehicle weight, CO2 emissions are reduced by 5 g/km. In line with the new, stricter requirements for CO2 emissions and reduced fuel consumption, reducing vehicle weight is one of the most important principles of car design worldwide.

3) Small amount of condensation
Plastic conducts heat less well than metal or aluminium. As a result, less condensation forms in the plastic gas tank when exposed to heat.

4) Product durability
Plastic fuel tanks have a high degree of reliability and are close to steel in strength/impact resistance.

5) Security
A metal tank can cause sparks on impact, resulting from solid contact with other solid parts of the car’s structure, which in turn causes the fuel to ignite. A plastic fuel tank will not cause sparks and is therefore safer.

6) Durability
If properly maintained, plastic fuel tanks are very durable and can last for decades.

7) Low costs
Plastic is cheaper than metal, so producing car parts from it requires lower financial costs for raw materials and production.

Composite materials are used in a wide range of applications:

Composite materials are used in many industries: aerospace, rockets and other specialised engineering.

Composite materials are successfully used in the construction of energy turbines, aerospace, rockets and other special engineering applications. For autoclaves, tanks, sulphuric acid production plants, tanks for storage and transport of petroleum products, etc.
