Plastic Fuel Tanks
Inca Molded Products pioneered the development of custom rotationally molded plastic fuel tanks for the marine industry. To date, Inca has manufactured over 1.5 million fuel tanks for marine, agricultural,and industrial use. With fuel tanks manufactured in all sizes and shapes, the company has produced fuel tanks ranging in size from 1 gallon to 195 gallons.

These plastic fuel tanks provide these advantages over fuels tanks of metal or other materials:
- Custom design and engineering, using Solid Works and 3D Solid Modeling
- Design flexibility and configured to customers requirements
- Large inventory of existing molds
- Uniform wall thickness
- Crosslink Polyethylene Resin (XLPE)—For fuel tanks of all types, gas and oil storage tank—to improve impact strength, provide higher stress crack resistance and enhance weatherability. (Contains a crosslinking agent that interacts in the molding cycle to form a crosslinked molecular structure that is ideal for gas and oil storage tanks, as well as trash containers and parts requiring maximum toughness or durability in cold temperatures. This material meets U.S. Coast Guard fire test requirements.)
