摘要：Plastic fuel tanks and systems are designed to offer environment-friendly, cost-effective, lightweight,and safe solutions to the automotive industry.The objective of the present work is to design and numerically examinethe impact strength and develop a modular prototype using high density polyethylene plastic, which is a strong andlightweight material, enable manufacturers to substantially reduce the overall weight of their vehicles & making thevehicles more fuel efficient. Plastic fuel tanks also allow for increased safety in the event of crash. Unlike metal fueltanks, many can bend & flatten, rather than tearing, rupturing & spilling gasoline, thereby safely eliminating fuelleakage as a cause of a fire or explosion.
