Abstract
A fuel container formed by bonding upper and lower sections, for which both the upper and lower sections are made by thermo-forming a multi-layer sheet that comprises an interlayer of a barrier resin (A) and inner and outer layers of a polyolefin (B), and of which the surface of the innermost layer is coated with a layer of a barrier material (C).

A fuel container formed by bonding upper and lower sections, for which both the upper and lower sections are made by thermo-forming a multi-layer sheet that comprises an interlayer of a barrier resin (A) and inner and outer layers of a polyolefin (B), and of which the surface of the innermost layer is coated with a layer of a barrier material (C).
A method for producing a fuel container, which includes thermo-forming a multi-layer sheet that comprises an interlayer of a barrier resin (A) and inner and outer layers of a polyolefin (B) into two thermo-formed multi-layer sections, then coating the inner surface of each section with a layer of a barrier material (C), and thereafter heat-sealing the open-end edges of the two sections to complete a fuel container.
A method for producing a fuel container, which includes thermo-forming a multi-layer sheet that comprises an interlayer of a barrier resin (A) and inner and outer layers of a polyolefin (B) into two thermo-formed multi-layer sections, then coating the inner surface of each section except the area of open-end edge thereof with a layer of a barrier material (C), and thereafter heat-sealing the open-end edges of the two sections to complete a fuel container.
