Twin-Sheet Blow-Molded Fuel System

Twin-sheet blow molding offers the advantages of an extrusion blow-molded fuel system with the design flexibility of a half-shell process. Sheets extrude between a central core and the mold. Core actions attach the components during initial sheet forming.  The empty core is withdrawn and the mold is closed to join the formed sheets. Fuel tanks formed via this process meet the strictest PZEV emissions requirements, while also providing higher tank capacity, lower emissions, weight and cost reductions, and elimination of post-mold operations.
