{Problem} To provide a fuel tank with excellent blow moldability, high deformation-suppressing properties and high heat resistance. {Solution} In an automobile fuel tank, a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) of an outer body layer 12 and an inner body layer 16 of an outer wall 10 has the following physical properties: 1) a modulus of elasticity of 1100 to 1400 MPa at 23° C.; 2) a modulus of elasticity of 340 to 430 MPa at 65° C.; 3) a modulus of elasticity of 400 to 510 MPa at 23° C. after being immersed in Fuel D for 200 hours at 65° C.; 4) a Charpy impact strength of 7 to 14 kJ/m2 at −40° C.; 5) a full-notch creep test (FNCT) result of 50 to 300 hours at 80° C.; 6) a melt flow rate (MFR) result of 4 to 6 (g/10 minutes) at 190° C. and a load of 21.6 kg; and 7) a melt tension of 18 to 25 g when a sample that has been melted at 210° C. is extruded from a nozzle with a diameter of 2.095 mm and a length of 8 mm at an extrusion rate of 15 mm/minute, and drawn at a take-up speed of 7.5 m/minute.
An automobile fuel tank having an outer wall composed of a main body of a multiple-layered synthetic resin, wherein
