Fuel tanks

In this section dedicated to marine fuel tanks, you'll find everything you need for your boat's fuel system: from polyethylene tanks to fittings, and from inspection hatches to fuel level indicators. Whether you're outfitting a new vessel or replacing an old tank, you'll find certified quality components here.

Our tanks are made from durable materials that are resistant to hydrocarbons and mechanical stress. Available in various capacities (up to 767 liters!), they are suitable for all types of boats, from inflatable boats to sailboats.

In addition to tanks, we offer accessories, including:

• Inspection Hatches: To check the fuel condition and clean the tank.


• Fittings: To connect the tank to the engine and vent.


• Mechanical Fuel Level Senders: To monitor the fuel level.

Why Choose Polyethylene Fuel Tanks?

Polyethylene tanks offer several advantages over metal tanks:

• Lightweight: Polyethylene is a lightweight material that doesn't add significant weight to the boat.


• Corrosion Resistance: Polyethylene is resistant to corrosion caused by saltwater and hydrocarbons.


• Easy to Clean: The smooth surface of polyethylene makes the tank easy to clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of fuel tank do I need for my inflatable boat?

For an inflatable boat, a portable plastic tank of 12 or 24 liters is usually sufficient. Always check compatibility with your outboard motor and ensure it is approved.

Empty the tank completely and use a fuel-specific cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and let it dry before refilling. Inspect for any sediment or corrosion.

How often should I replace my fuel tank?

The lifespan of a fuel tank depends on the material and usage conditions. In general, a plastic tank lasts longer than 10 years, while a metal tank can last up to 20 years if well maintained. Regularly check the condition of the tank and replace it if it shows signs of wear or corrosion.

What tank capacity is suitable for my 10-meter sailboat?
