Basically, the fuel tank stores your gasoline, that’s the primary job. But it’s not just a container. It’s designed to safely hold the fuel, vent air to maintain proper pressure, and feed fuel to the fuel pump. Some tanks also have internal baffles, kind of like walls inside, to reduce sloshing when you’re driving. This helps keep the fuel from surging and messing with your engine performance. It sits usually underneath the rear of the vehicle, though sometimes you'll find it up front, and it's a key part of the entire fuel delivery system. The fuel pump, which is often located inside the tank these days, pulls fuel from it and sends it to the engine. The tank has a filler neck for you to fill it up, a vent to let air in and out, and lines that run to the pump and engine. It really is the starting point for getting power to your wheels. This one’s pretty straightforward. Without a good fuel tank, you’re not going anywhere! But beyond that, a failing tank is a safety issue. Leaks are obviously a fire hazard, and even small ones can cause fuel vapor buildup. You’ll notice if you smell gas strongly near the rear of the car, or if your fuel gauge is acting strangely, always showing a different amount than what you put in. A corroded or damaged tank can also contaminate your fuel. You can find a replacement fuel tank, and pretty much anything else you need, over at Fixparts Online, and it's a pretty crucial part to keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely.
