Advantages of Rotationally Moulded Plastic Fuel Tanks

• Weight Reduction, light-weighting benefits
• Increased Fuel Capacity by leveraging freedom of design
• Corrosion Free – increased life of fuel system
• Seamless single-piece construction with molded-in inserts and filler neck – no joints hence no leakage
• Reduction in assembly components as many features can be provided as molded-in with fuel tank
• Intricate shapes can be manufactured
• Negligible maintenance or servicing required, fit-and-forget type of installation
• Better Fuel Economy
• No painting or expensive surface treatments required
• Reduced CO2 emissions
• Fire Resistance*
• Noise Attenuation
• Increased crash safety*
• Economical in terms of added value by leveraging plastic material capability and manufacturing flexibility
• Increased Durability
• Compatibility with Bio-Fuels, Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel, etc.

Construction and features

• Single piece moulded, seamless, joint-less and homogenous construction.
• Virtually stress-free products, negligible residual stress after moulding.
• Ability to add moulded-in metal, plastic and rubber child parts during the process.
• Large variety of inserts are possible to mould-in.
• Intricate and complex shapes can be moulded.
• Most undercuts can also be moulded
• Baffles can be designed and moulded-in to prevent liquid sloshing and surging.
• Relatively uniform wall thickness distribution is possible.
• Light-weight products, ideal for weight-reduction targets.
• Sandwich foam construction is possible for increased rigidity, thermal and acoustic insulation.
• Virtually any part size can be rotationally moulded.
• Multi layer parts are possible, choice of materials and combinations possible along-with adjustable wall thickness of each individual layer.
• Flexibility in wall thickness and part weight.
• Attractive and aesthetically pleasing surface finishes are possible.
• Good strength to weight ratio for most applications.
• Polymer lining for metal parts is possible, Rotolining.

Economical

• Scrap during moulding is negligible, highly sustainable process.
• Relatively low cost of tooling and development costs.
• Extremely cost effective to mould large parts.
• Low wear-tear of moulds and moving parts.
• Process is ideal for large hollow parts.

Environment and material properties

• Eco-friendly & recyclable products.
• High environmental stress cracking resistance.
• Very good weatherability, excellent UV properties can be obtained.
• Attractive non-fading colours can be moulded.
• Products are practically maintenance free, fit-and-forget installations.
• Products are resistant to most chemicals, moisture and corrosion.
• Ease to install, tough & durable products.
• Material properties can be altered to suit the needs.
• Specific properties like Fire retardant, Conductive, Anti-static, Anti-Bacteria, etc. can be obtained.
