A blow molded thermoplastic fuel tank with built-in fuel system components inside of the tank on separate and spaced apart internal brackets reduces the detrimental effects of thermoplastic swell to ensure fuel volume capacity is maximized, and appropriate clearances with the fuel tank wall are maintained. An internal configuration with separate spaced apart brackets provides more design freedom in the shape and configuration of the tank while enabling the tank shape to be thinner overall and fit within tighter spaces. The separate brackets also act as baffles to prevent sloshing noises of liquid fuel in the tank.
