While smaller diesel tanks are used in small vehicles, more capacity tanks are used in vehicles with larger size and weight. For example; Vehicles with 4WD traction system have a large-capacity fuel tank. There is also a second warehouse in these vehicles. Thanks to these tanks, they store up to 185 liters of fuel.

Where is the fuel tank located in the vehicle?

Things to Consider in the Fuel Tank

  • There is a possibility that the diesel tanks may be punctured. Therefore, as a result of this puncture, fuel leaks occur and threaten safety. When tanks are punctured, they usually cannot be repaired and must be replaced. Diesel tanks do not burst on their own, but in the event of an accident or when they receive a blow.
  • The fuel tank is a system that needs to be ventilated. The situations where air cannot be taken are called vacuum formation. This situation usually occurs in gasoline vehicles. A vacuum is created in the tank and this vacuum causes the inside of the tank to collapse and its structure to deteriorate. It also impairs the function of the fuel pump.
  • There is an expansion chamber in the diesel tanks. This chamber ensures that the fuel is fully filled into the tank. A pressure build-up in the diesel tank prevents the fuel from filling the tank. In such a case, the expansion chamber should be checked and, if necessary, repaired.
