Fuel Tank: Description and Operation

Fuel Tank

The fuel tank is of plastic construction and is retained to the vehicle by means of two steel support straps. The fuel tank support straps are hooked onto the underside of the vehicle chassis towards the rear of the fuel tank and bolt to the vehicle towards the front of the fuel tank. Fuel tank ventilation is achieved through a fuel tank roll-over valve into an evaporative emission canister which absorbs the fuel vapor. The fuel tank roll-over valve is integral to the fuel tank and will prevent fuel loss from the fuel tank if the vehicle becomes inverted.
