Fuel Tank: Description and Operation

Fuel System (Typical) With Enhanced EVAP:

DESCRIPTION
The fuel tank is used to store fuel for the vehicle. It has a 45 liter (11.1 gallon) fuel capacity. The tank is molded from steel and is located in back of the rear wheels below the rear seat. The tank is held in place with five bolts. The tank's shape allows for a constant supply of fuel around the fuel pump strainer during low fuel conditions and also during aggressive vehicle maneuvers. The fuel inlet port on the tank is equipped with an inlet valve. This fuel tank inlet valve prevents fuel from spewing into the fuel filler neck during aggressive vehicle maneuvers or vehicle rollovers.

NOTE: The fuel tank along with its pipes and hoses should be checked for road damage which could result in leakage. Also inspect the fuel filler cap for a correct seal and any indications of physical damage.
