The fuel tank is a saddle tank design and installed under the second row seat floorpan, forward of the rear suspension. The fuel tank is manufactured using 6 layer co-extruded blow molding technology providing both high mechanical strength and complete emission integrity. The fuel tank is secured with 2 straps which are bolted in position to the vehicle body. The fuel filler neck is produced from stainless steel.
The fuel tank provides the following:
- Storage of fuel - The system contains a given quantity of fuel, avoid leakage and limit evaporative emission.
- Filling - The fuel tank must be filled in a secure way, without sparks.
- Provide a method for measuring the level of fuel in the fuel tank.
- Venting - The over-pressure is not allowed, the fuel vapors must be managed.
- Provide a method for delivering the fuel to the engine.
The fuel tank has a storage capacity of 68 liters (18 US gallons).
The Fuel Limit Vent Valve (FLVV) is installed in the fuel tank and connected with the breather hose. As the fuel enters the fuel tank, the pressure increases inside the fuel tank. The FLVV vents High Pressure (HP) air to the fuel filler hose in case of creating HP inside the fuel tank.
