6RU201550A Volkswagen FUEL TANK

Basically, it's a container – holds all your gasoline. It’s got a filler neck where you put the gas in, and outlets for the fuel pump to pull gas from to feed the engine. Modern tanks also often include internal baffles – those are like walls inside the tank – to help slosh the fuel around less and keep the fuel pump from sucking air, especially when your gas level is low. They’re usually made of steel or a really tough plastic these days. It's pretty simple, really. The fuel tank is part of the fuel delivery system. The pump pulls fuel from the tank, sends it to the engine, and the engine burns it for power. It sits underneath the vehicle, usually protected by a skid plate or positioned safely away from road debris. Well, without it, you’re not going anywhere! But seriously, it’s hugely important for a few reasons. It’s designed to be incredibly strong and leakproof. It acts like a shield protecting the fuel from impact and preventing fumes from escaping. You’ll notice if it’s leaking, obviously – you’ll smell gas and see it dripping. Even a small leak can be a fire hazard, so it's something you want to address immediately. A damaged tank can also cause your engine to run poorly or stall. If you're looking to replace one, Fixparts Online has a good selection, and it's definitely something you don't want to cheap out on. It needs to be built to withstand a lot. Technical support included: Fuel Tank (MPN 6RU201550A) comes with a 12-month warranty!
