Fuel Tank

The fuel tank is used to store fuel for the vehicle. The tank is located in the rear of the vehicle and is held in place by 2 straps that are attached to the underbody. The fuel tank is made of plastic and is coated internally with a special corrosion inhibitor. Due to the internal coating of the fuel tank, the fuel tank is not repairable. The fuel tank shape includes a reservoir in order to maintain a constant supply of fuel around the fuel pump strainer during low fuel conditions and aggressive vehicle maneuvers.

The tank also contains a fuel vapor vent valve with roll-over protection. The vent valve also features a 2-phase vent calibration which increases fuel vapor flow to the canister when operating temperatures increase the tank pressure beyond an established threshold.

The fuel tank contains 3 rollover valves that prevents fuel from entering the fuel pipes in the event of a vehicle rollover. The rollover valves are not repairable.
