A fuel tank in a car is a container that stores the fuel required for the vehicle to operate. It is typically made of metal or plastic and is located in the rear of the car, underneath the trunk or towards the back of the vehicle. The primary function of the fuel tank is to hold the gasoline or diesel fuel securely and prevent any leakage or evaporation. It is designed to withstand the pressure and temperature changes that occur during the fueling process and while the car is in motion.

The fuel tank is equipped with various components to ensure the efficient and safe storage of fuel. These include a fuel filler neck, which is the opening through which fuel is added to the tank, and a fuel pump module that helps to transfer the fuel from the tank to the engine. The tank also has a fuel level sensor that provides information about the amount of fuel present, allowing the driver to monitor the fuel level through the car's dashboard. Additionally, the tank is equipped with a venting system to release any built-up pressure or fumes, preventing the tank from becoming over-pressurized or causing fuel vapor emissions.
