Claims12
A fuel tank comprising a blow molded article that comprises a layer comprising a blow molding ethylene resin composition;
- wherein the blow molding ethylene resin composition comprises a single or two or more ethylene polymers in the range of 99 wt % or more, wherein the ethylene polymer satisfies the following requirements [1] and [2] at the same time, and wherein the ethylene resin composition satisfies the following requirements [a], [b], [c], [d] and [h] at the same time:
