Fuel tanks are the sections where the fuels necessary for the progress of motor vehicles are stored. It provides safe storage of flammable liquid on the vehicle. It is available in every vehicle, but its capacity differs from vehicle to vehicle.
These are the tanks used to provide the fuel needed for the operation of the vehicles. The fuel tank ensures that the diesel is stored safely inside the vehicle. It is usually made of plastic or metal material.
The capacity of the fuel tanks varies according to the vehicle used. Usually vehicle tanks have a capacity between 45 and 65 liters.
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.
The location of the fuel tank in the vehicles varies from vehicle to vehicle. However, in most vehicles it is located in front of the rear axle. In some vehicle models, it can be located behind the seat or in the trunk. It can also be positioned under the seats or on the chassis.
The biggest reason for the placement of diesel tanks in different places; It is to stay away from the accident area in case of accidents that may occur in the front and rear parts.
The dimensions of the fuel tanks and the materials they are produced from may vary. Tanks produced as plastic mixed with molded polyethylene; Tanks produced as metal are produced from stamped steel or aluminum material. Generally, plastic tanks are used.
