A method for manufacturing a plastic fuel tank including: a) inserting a plastic parison including two distinct parts into an open two-cavity mold; b) inserting a core, bearing at least part of a reinforcing element configured to create a link between the two parison parts, inside the parison; c) pressing the parison firmly against the mold cavities, for example by blowing through the core and/or creating suction behind the cavities; d) fixing the part of the reinforcing element to at least one of the parison parts using the core; e) withdrawing the core; f) closing the mold, bringing its two cavities together to grip the two parison parts around their periphery to weld them together; g) injecting a pressurized fluid into the mold and/or creating a vacuum behind the mold cavities to press the parison firmly against the mold cavities; and h) opening the mold and extracting the tank. 1. A method for manufacturing a plastic fuel tank with improved creep strength , comprising:a) inserting a plastic parison including a first part and a second part into an open two-cavity mold;b) inserting a core inside the parison, the core bearing at least part of a reinforcing element that is substantially rigid and configured to create a link between the two parts of the parison, the reinforcing element having a first end for coupling with said first part of the parison and a second end for coupling with said second part of the parison, the first and second ends of the reinforcing element being preheated beside the core;c) pressing the parison firmly against the mold cavities, or blowing through the core and/or creating suction behind the cavities;d) welding the first end of the reinforcing element to the first part of the parison using the core;e) withdrawing the core;f) closing the mold again, bringing its two cavities together so as to grip the first and second parts of the parison around their periphery to weld them together, and welding the second end of the reinforcing element ...
