Zusammenfassung:	A fuel tank 12 is made by joining together two thermoformed shell portions 16 and 18, a reservoir assembly 22 being fixed to one shell portion before the two portions are joined so that the size of the reservoir assembly 22 is not limited by the size of an access aperture 20 in the upper shell portion 16. The shell portions are formed from sheets of plastics, e.g. high-density polyethylene. The reservoir is fixed either by welding mounting feet onto the lower shell portion 18 or (Fig. 19) suspending it from pillars welded to the undersurface of the upper portion 16. A fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator are removably mounted in the reservoir assembly 22 through the access aperture 20.
