Moeller Marine Enters the Aluminum Fuel Tank Market

Moeller Marine expands fuel tank product offerings.

Moeller Marine, the marine industry leader in rotationally molded plastic fuel tanks, is pleased to announce that they are expanding their product offerings by entering the marine aluminum fuel tank market.

Moeller Marine recognizes that there will always be a need in the marine industry for both plastic and aluminum tanks based on the needs of each vessel, and the preferences of the builder. With that in mind, the company now offers innovative solutions for customers and builders interested in both plastic and aluminum fuel tank options.

Because each material has its own unique benefits, builders will always have a need for both plastic and aluminum tanks:

Aluminum is generally the choice for lower volume, simplistic tank shapes, quick prototypes and maximizing total compartment volume. Aluminum tank geometry and design are quick and easy to change, and aluminum offers superior baffling capability.

Plastic does not corrode and it is excellent for complex tank shapes. With some up-front tooling costs, plastic is generally the choice for higher volume runs greater than 50 vessels per year, complex shapes or those requiring superior durability.

Builders now have a single source for all marine fuel tank needs. Offering both rotomolded plastic and aluminum tanks will now allow Moeller Marine to provide a complete product line-up to their valued customers.
