There's no info in the FSM regarding the plastic type. Why do you need to know?

Edit: Just typed what plastic are fuel tanks made of into google and the answer it seems is High-Density Polyethylene or HDPE

It’s HDPE (High Density PolyEthylene) and I bet your next question is can it be glued? No. It’s an inert substance hence suitability for fuel tanks.
