Fuel Tank: Description and Operation

Fuel Tank:

The fuel tank stores fuel for the vehicle. The capacity of the fuel tank is 39 liters (10.3 gallons). The fuel tank is molded from steel and is located at the front of the rear wheels and below the rear seat. The fuel tank is held in place with 5 bolts. The fuel tank's shape allows for a constant supply of fuel around the fuel strainer during low fuel conditions and during aggressive vehicle maneuvers. Check the fuel tank, the fuel lines, and the fuel hoses for road damage that could cause a fuel leak. Inspect the fuel filler cap for a correct seal and for indications of physical damage.

The fuel system is equipped with an enhanced evaporative emission system and with an On-board Fuel Vapor Recovery (ORVR) system. The 2 systems minimize the release of fuel vapors to the atmosphere.
