ABSTRACT:
A vehicle fuel tank is made from a plastic molding process in which various models of the tank are required with differently oriented fuel filler necks. One of the mold halves for the tank is provided with a mold insert over that portion of the mold half which forms the fuel filler neck. Different mold inserts are provided each one of which provides a differently oriented version of the fuel filler neck. Different models of the tank are molded with different mold inserts in place such that each tank has an integrally molded fuel filler neck oriented in the proper manner. In addition, a through pocket is integrally molded into the tank between the sides of the tank to form a transverse baffle for preventing fuel from sloshing from one side of the tank to the other.
