What is an inca tank?

This is right off the inca website

Rotationally Molded Plastic Fuel Tank vs. Metal Fuel Tank

Plastic has many advantages over metal when used to create fuel tanks and other components:

Lighter weight than most metal
(Plastic fuel tanks are 30% lighter than comparable metal tanks, also contributing to greater fuel efficiency for the product.)

More durable
- One-piece seamless design is virtually indestructible.
(Seamed metal tanks can fracture and leak.)
- Greater impact strength provided.
- Material cannot rust.
- Plastic resists corrosion and damage from fuel additives.
- Longer life span ensured.
Nonexplosive and safer than metal
(A metal tank can explode when it catches on fire.)
Better compartment space utilization
(The shape or design of the product is less restricted by the material, so the plastic can conform easily to the shape required for the product and space availability. This feature saves on cost, size and weight of the component.)
More convenient
(Installation can be easier.)
Material transparency
(Use of translucent plastic allow content visibility, such as content level in a tank or gauge.)
Low cost of material and production
