Hey There,
I intend to make a  Motorcycle Fuel tank in Carbon Fiber by infusion creating probably a 6 part mold.
My question is, how can i "glue" 6 parts and how can i insulate inner side for gasoline use.
Does  Epoxy resin will be good or do i have to cover inside tank with something?
Thanks..

You can construct it in the normal way, but then you need to coat the inside with an especially high chemically resistant epoxy, regular epoxy won't do. You need a Phenol Novolac epoxy. Look for epoxy tank sealers, and just make sure they are a two part product, the single part tank sealers are no good.

Thank you very much for your help.
I will look for it....
