ABSTRACT:
A fiber reinforced plastic fuel tank includes a multipurpose inner liner that serves as an aid during molding as well as a corrosion resistant protector and/or secondary fuel container for the tank when in use. This plastic fuel tank is molded by first covering an exterior surface of the inner liner with a fibrous material. The inner liner is then placed into a mold and pressurized. Thereafter, resin is injected into the mold, impregnating the fibrous material, while the inner liner supports the resin injected material to define a hollow interior for the tank. Once the resin has been injected into the mold, the resin is cured to form the molded tank.
