The fuel tank is manufactured using 6 layer co-extruded blow molding technology providing both high mechanical strength and complete emissions integrity. The fuel tank is mounted under the rear seat floorpan, forward of the rear suspension.
The fuel tank has a useable capacity of 60 liters (13.2 gallons).
The fuel tank is a saddle tank design which is secured to the vehicle floorpan with 2 straps which are bolted in position. The fuel filler neck is produced from stainless steel.
The fuel tank contains a fuel pump module which collects fuel from both sides of the tank. The fuel pump provides sufficient fuel is available in the swirl pot to supply the engine's fuel demands. The Low Pressure (LP) fuel pump supplies fuel to the High Pressure (HP) fuel pump mounted on the engine.
An internal bracket allows for the attachment of the left fuel pick-up and the passive fuel level sensor.
An internal breather hose is connected to a stub port passing through the fuel tank casing. An external pipe and hose connect this port to the top of the filler neck. This enables the fuel tank to be filled and controls the fuel cut off during filling.
Fuel level inside the tank is monitored by 2 level sensors.
