A method for manufacturing a fuel tank or filling pipe including a wall made of thermoplastics material and a fibrous reinforcement over at least part of the surface thereof, the method including: heating the fibrous reinforcement to bring the fibrous reinforcement into an at least partially molten state; introducing the heated fibrous reinforcement, and the wall in at least partially molten state, into a mold; and welding the fibrous reinforcement to the wall using pressure of a gas which inflates the wall and presses the heated fibrous reinforcement firmly against the wall in the molten state. 118-. (canceled)19. A method for welding a fibrous reinforcement when manufacturing an object chosen from an assembly of a tank and a filling pipe , the object including a wall of thermoplastics material , the fibrous reinforcement including both a thermoplastics material compatible with that of the object and chopped fibers or long fibers or continuous fibers which may or may not be woven , the welding method comprising:heating the fibrous reinforcement to bring the fibrous reinforcement into a molten state;welding, in a mold, the heated fibers reinforcement to the wall in an at least partially molten state, using pressure of a gas that inflates the wall against the mold.20. The method as claimed in claim 19 , wherein the object is a fuel tank.21. The method as claimed in claim 19 , wherein the object is a filling pipe.22. The method as claimed in claim 19 , wherein the fibrous reinforcement is heated using a heating element that is placed in front of the fibrous reinforcement to heat the fibrous reinforcement by radiation claim 19 , by convection claim 19 , or by contact.23. The method as claimed in claim 19 , wherein the fibrous reinforcement is heated outside of the mold to bring the fibrous reinforcement into a molten state and then introduced heated into the mold.24. The method as claimed in claim 19 , further comprising preforming the fibrous reinforcement claim 19 , ...
