Fuel Tank: Description and Operation

Fuel Tank Installation:

FUEL TANK
The fuel storage tank is made of high density polyethylene and is located in front of the rear wheels. It is held in place by two metal straps attached to the underbody of the vehicle. The tank shape includes a sump to maintain a constant supply of fuel around the fuel pump strainer during low fuel conditions or aggressive maneuvers. The tank also contains a fuel vapor vent valve with roll-over protection. The vent valve also features a two phase vent calibration which increases fuel vapor flow to the canister when operating temperatures increase the tank pressure beyond an established threshold.
