Fuel Tank: Description and Operation

FUEL TANK




The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. The fuel tank is located in the rear of the vehicle. The fuel tank is held in place by 2 metal straps that attach to the under body of the vehicle. The fuel tank is molded from high-density polyethylene.

In order to provide space for a driveshaft though the center area of the tank, the fuel tank is a saddle configuration. Because of the saddle shape of the tank two fuel tank modules are required. The primary fuel tank module is located on the right side of the tank. The secondary fuel tank module is located on the left side of the tank.
