Toroidal LPG tanks enter US market

The integration of Stako into Worthington Industries made it possible for the Polish tank manufacturer to enter new, uncharted markets. The US are a particularly promising one, especially due to the fact that donut-shaped tanks haven't been very popular there so far.

Even though autogas is garnering popularity fast across the Atlantic (across from Europe, that is), vehicles converted to run on LPG have usually been equipped with cylindrical fuel tanks. While cylinders have their irrefutable advantages (primarily capacity, usually bigger than respective toruses), they sometimes tend to prove impractical as they occupy cargo or luggage space (e. g. in pick-up trucks they are fitted behind the cabin, within the cargo bed). Now, thanks to the acquisition of Stako, Worthington can introduce convenient toruses to their home market. The tanks have been certified by ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers).
