Abstract:
A method of forming a tank with a stiffening assembly includes forming a fuel tank such that the tank wall carries at least a first and second insert, locating a connecting assembly within the tank interior aligned with the first and second inserts, the connecting assembly including a rigid body, a first coupler and a second coupler, and coupling at least a portion of the first insert with the first coupler and at least a portion of the second insert with the second coupler to limit movement of the two wall portions relative to each other.

Claim (Index 9):
A method of manufacturing a fuel tank, comprising the steps of:\n forming a fuel tank, wherein the tank carries at least a first insert and a second insert on an exterior of the tank at two spaced apart wall portions of the tank; overmolding the first and second inserts while the fuel tank is in a parison form; locating a connecting assembly within the tank interior, aligned with the first and second inserts, the connecting assembly including a rigid body, a first coupler and a second coupler; coupling at least a portion of the first insert with a first attachment portion of the first coupler and at least a portion of the second insert with a first attachment portion of the second coupler; and coupling a second attachment portion of each of the first and second couplers with the rigid body, wherein the rigid body spans between the two spaced apart wall portions of the tank to limit movement of the two wall portions relative to each other, and wherein the wall portions of the tank are located between the couplers and the inserts.
