Polypropylene and polyethylene occupy a worthy place among the materials used in the production of fuel tanks. The manufacture of these products is a fairly simple, highly productive and waste-free process, which is carried out using the rotational molding method. The products are seamless and easy to use.
It is characteristic that plastic containers for fuel do not lend themselves to the influence of aggressive environmental factors, that is, they do not corrode, which is excellent for storing and transporting diesel fuel, engine oil, fuel oil and others.
These plastic products come in various capacities and shapes: rectangular and cylindrical, horizontal or vertical. The containers are made with a conical bottom and a filler neck with a screw cap, which allows completely emptying the container when draining fuel. There are single-layer and double-layer walls. In terms of strength, the two-layer thickness of the storage tank and the stiffeners installed in it put this type of container on a par with metal tanks.
A wide variety of fuel tanks allows them to be used in many areas of business. They are indispensable both for industrial needs and in everyday life for storing all types of fuel, oil and others. This type of plastic container is especially appreciated by motorists, with the help of which diesel fuel and oils can be transported. Gasoline is the most explosive of all fuels. It is known that it is forbidden to fill this substance in plastic cans at gas stations. Only metal containers are allowed.
