The fuel tank has a useful capacity of 68.0 liters and features a run-flat strategy to prevent air from entering the high-pressure fuel system. The tank is made of six-layer laminated plastic using blow molding, which provides high mechanical strength and complete sealing against harmful emissions. The fuel tank is a sealed unit with internal access through the fuel delivery module opening located on the right side of the tank.
The fuel tank is located centrally, below the rear seat, and sits, like a saddle, on top of the driveshaft and exhaust system components.
The fuel tank is secured to the vehicle via a support saddle and 6 bolts. When the saddle is secured to the chassis, the tank is firmly held in place via foam pads that fit snugly against the vehicle's underbody. The saddle is constructed of steel and includes a large diameter steel line to protect the underbody from damage from the front edge of the fuel tank. The saddle also provides a location for the parking brake cable brackets.
The saddle heat shield is attached to the seat to protect the fuel tank from the effects of temperatures generated in the exhaust system.
