Basically, it’s what holds all your gasoline. It's a pretty straightforward job – storing the fuel and supplying it to the engine when needed. Modern tanks also have systems built in to vent pressure, and many have internal baffles to help keep the fuel from sloshing around too much when you're driving or cornering. It's a core component of your fuel system. Fuel gets pumped from here to the engine, so if the tank isn’t working right, your car just won’t run. It’s positioned usually underneath the vehicle, offering protection, and it works alongside the fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel lines to get the fuel where it needs to go. Well, without it, you’re not going anywhere! A compromised fuel tank can lead to fuel leaks, which are obviously a fire hazard, and can cause significant emissions issues. Plus, even a small leak will quickly impact your fuel economy. You’ll notice if there's a problem – you might smell fuel, see a fuel puddle, or the fuel gauge will act strangely. A damaged tank can also affect your vehicle’s emissions system. You can find replacements pretty easily these days – sites like Fixparts Online carry a good range of fuel tanks for different makes and models. It's one of those parts that’s easy to take for granted when it's working, but it acts like a shield protecting your fuel and getting you down the road.
