Abstract:
This method for manufacturing a pipe (2) for a vehicle fuel tank involves—molding a wall, comprising an inner layer (6) made from ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) and an outer layer (8) made from a polymer suitable for welding, in a mold comprising at least one female shoulder that creates at least one male shoulder on an outer surface of an end portion of the wall during molding, then—cutting off the end portion of the wall.
