• a single-layer tubular section (2), and
• lids which seal end faces of the single-layer tubular section, so that the single-layer tubular section and the lids enclose a hollow space provided for storage of the media, wherein at least one connector (6,6′) is provided for loading/unloading,
• characterised in that said single-layer tubular section is composed of a plurality of separate single-layer tubes and an intermediate piece, said plurality of single-layer tubes being joined to one another by means of the intermediate piece, said plurality of single-layer tube being composed of fibre-reinforced thermoplastic material, said fibre-reinforced thermoplastic material of the single-layer tube containing more than 10 percent by volume of fibres with an average fibre length of more than 50 mm as reinforcement.
