Fuel tanks from custom plastics moulder Meese Orbitron Dunne are moulded with tight radius curves, complex cutouts and an array of twists and turns to permit tank placement in vertical, oddly shaped and nontraditional locations on construction machines, lawn mowers and other off-highway and commercial contracting equipment Available in capacities up to 50gal, the MOD fuel tanks permit placement close to the engine for efficiency while also stabilising the centre of gravity for safe operation

Custom fuel tanks mould in graphics
Custom product design and manufacturing company Meese Orbitron Dunne offers custom fuel tanks featuring permanently moulded-in logos, warnings, illustrations, serial numbers and other colour graphics.
By accommodating nearly any shape or configuration, the MOD fuel tanks enable product designers and engineers to design the fuel system to suit the requirements of the machine, rather than designing the machine to accommodate the limitations of a traditional fuel tank.
"With these tanks, designers can focus their attention on other facets of their machines with the knowledge that our tanks will fit after the fact", says Tom Cooper, sales manager for MOD.
Rotationally moulded into a single, uniform piece for structural strength and leakproof integrity, the MOD fuel tanks eliminate fasteners, joints, seals, solders and welds that invite corrosion and weaken complex metal fuel tank assemblies.
The potential for hazardous leaks and spills is virtually eliminated.
