Product catalog summary
Introduction
Tek-Tanks has developed a new tank manufacturing system that combines precise engineering with appealing aesthetics. These lightweight tanks are designed to be lighter than aluminum, offering a significant weight reduction.

Specifications
The concept tank has a capacity of 59 liters and weighs only 5.8 kg, making it 48% lighter than the standard 10mm thick tank. The tanks are suitable for diesel fuel, water, and waste, with a maximum volume limit of 160 liters. Fuel tanks are CE marked, water tanks are taste-free, and waste tanks comply with ISO 8099 standards.

Materials and Design
The tanks are constructed from 12.5mm thick High Density Polyethylene, co-extruded in two colors: yellow and black for fuel, blue and white for water, and green and beige for waste. Each panel is CNC machined with 8mm deep pockets, and baffles are designed with lightening holes for weight reduction. Hatch plates feature nut recesses for half nuts, and bolts can be drilled for additional weight savings.

Testing and Certification
All tanks undergo pressure testing at 4 psi and are provided with a certificate of conformity.

Lightweight Racing Tanks Tek-Tanks have now developed a tank manufacturing system that blends exacting engineering with stylish aesthetics. If you are looking for a lightweight tank that is lighter than aluminium, then you have found it. The concept tank shown here holds 59 litres and weighs just 5.8kg! This is 48% lighter than our standard 10mm thick tank. Suitable for diesel fuel, water and waste, they can be made to any of our usual shapes but will be limited to a maximum volume of 160 litres. Fuel tanks will be CE marked as usual, water tanks will be taste free and waste tanks will meet the ISO 8099. Tek-Tanks Racing tanks are machined from 12.5mm thick High Density Polyethylene which has been co-extruded in two colours. Fuel tanks are yellow and black, water tanks are blue and white and waste tanks are green and beige. Each panel on the tank is individually machined on a CNC router leaving individual pockets 8mm deep. The baffles are also machined with lightening holes and are also pocketed. The hatch plates are machined with nut recesses to allow for half nuts rather than full nuts. Bolts can be drilled giving a further weight saving as an optional extra. All the Racing tanks are pressure tested to our usual 4 psi and come with a certificate of conformity.
