Ideal for prototype testing or small production runs

Moeller can produce aluminum fuel tanks in a fraction of the time it takes to manufacture polyethylene tanks. Custom aluminum tanks are typically less expensive than polyethylene and enable design flexibility over time. We manufacture our tanks from 5052 aluminum; highly resistant to corrosion from saltwater or industrial contaminants, the aluminum may be coated for increased resistance.

Because tooling is not required for production, no upfront investment is required for mold design and fabrication. The aluminum production process supports design flexibility—it’s a simple matter to install internal venting and other components. That means fast turnaround for both aluminum tank prototype development and production. As with all Moeller tanks, ABYC, NMMA, and USCG certification costs are included in the purchase.

One key advantage of a Moeller tank is our superior component integration. Some manufacturers fasten components with self-tapping screws. This approach allows for leak points at the screws, and may result in an accumulation of aluminum shavings in the tank. Moeller uses spacer plates for thread engagement. Drilled and tapped blind holes eliminate unwanted penetration into the tank, and enable the removal/reinstallation of components with minimal risk of tank damage.
