Plastic fuel tank – a modern and safer alternative to corroded metal tanks

Our plastic fuel tanks are a modern replacement for conventional metal fuel tanks.
They are corrosion-free, impact-resistant and precisely manufactured to match the original dimensions and mounting points of your vehicle.

• No corrosion: no rust inside the tank and no contamination of the fuel system.
• Leak-tested: every tank is pressure-tested to ensure tightness and prevent fuel vapours.

Manufactured in Latvia in compliance with the technical regulations and standards of the European Union.

Certified composite material

Our plastic fuel tanks are produced from a modern composite material based on polyester resins, fiberglass and carbon fiber.
These materials are resistant to petrol and diesel fuels and are designed for long-term, reliable operation.

The manufacturing process ensures precise control of volume, tolerances and fit.
As a result, each tank corresponds to the original factory fuel tank and fits the original mounting points and connections without modification.

Safety and quality control

Each fuel tank is pressure-tested after production to verify tightness and eliminate the risk of fuel leaks or vapour emissions.

Production takes place in Latvia and fully complies with applicable EU technical standards.
This guarantees a high-quality fuel tank suitable for everyday driving as well as demanding operating conditions.

Advantages of plastic fuel tanks compared to metal tanks

1) Corrosion resistance

Plastic fuel tanks are not affected by corrosion or internal rust.
This significantly extends service life and helps prevent clogged filters and fuel system contamination.

2) Reduced weight

A plastic fuel tank can be approximately 40–50% lighter than a comparable metal tank.
Lower weight reduces stress on the suspension and bodywork and simplifies installation.

3) Reduced condensation

Plastic has lower thermal conductivity than steel or aluminium.
This results in less internal condensation during temperature changes, which is especially beneficial for seasonal vehicles and classic cars.

4) High mechanical strength

Modern composite materials offer high resistance to impact, vibration and stone chips.
In practical use, plastic fuel tanks achieve strength levels comparable to steel tanks.

5) Improved safety

In the event of heavy impact, metal tanks may generate sparks when contacting rigid structural components.
Plastic fuel tanks do not produce sparks, increasing safety in critical situations.

6) Long service life

With normal use and proper installation, plastic fuel tanks can remain functional for decades without corrosion-related damage.

7) Cost-effective solution

Composite materials allow efficient production with lower material and manufacturing costs compared to metal tanks.
This results in a technically advanced replacement fuel tank at a moderate price.

Why composite materials are widely trusted

Composite materials are used globally in technically demanding industries such as aerospace, turbine manufacturing and the chemical industry.

They are also commonly used for pressure vessels, chemical storage tanks and equipment for the storage and transport of petroleum products.
This demonstrates the durability, chemical resistance and suitability of composite materials for harsh operating conditions.

Regulatory note – TÜV and vehicle inspection

Our plastic fuel tanks are not individually TÜV-certified components.
This is standard practice for replacement fuel tanks, as they are not assessed as standalone parts.

The fuel tank is designed as a direct replacement for the original factory-installed tank and does not constitute a structural modification of the vehicle.
Assessment is carried out as part of the regular vehicle inspection in accordance with §19 StVZO.

In most cases, no separate TÜV certificate or registration is required.
The final decision always lies with the responsible inspection engineer in the individual case.
