ABSTRACT:
A novel fuel tank is disclosed for a vehicle. The fuel tank includes a first and second housing part, each having an outer peripheral flange. The flanges are adapted to abut against each other and, in doing so, form a chamber between the central portions of the housing parts. These flanges are then sealingly secured together. Each housing part is a laminate structure having an outer layer constructed of an abrasion and impact resistant material, a vapor barrier layer constructed of a material impervious to hydrocarbon vapors, and a chemically resistant layer constructed of a material resistant to erosion from hydrocarbons and conventional fuel additives. Each housing part may also have additional layers, such as a heat and light reflective layer adjacent the outermost abrasion resistant layer, as well as a structural layer to add strength and rigidity to the overall tank. Additional structures, such as reservoirs, baffles, support structures, filler tube extensions, valving and the like can also be contained within the interior of the fuel tank.
