摘要: The fuel tank (2a) has a filler pipe (3) connected to it with an insert (4) containing non-return valve (8), the tank, and all being made from weldable plastic material. At least one of components is fitted electric heating element (5) which current applied after assembly so that adjacent surfaces are welded together. designed cover contacting assembled components, can be together directly or via flange (10) on insert. An independent claim also included for method making incorporating by welding surfaces.
