CONSTRUCTION
A multi-layer plastic fuel tank assembly is used. The multiplex layered plastic fuel tank assembly consists of six layers of four types of materials, and one of those is a recyclable material to address environmental concerns.
Fuel drain marks have been provided at the lowest position of the fuel tank assembly. When dismantling (scrapping) the vehicle, drain fuel by drilling a hole at the drain mark.
The fuel tank assembly uses a saddle shape to allow the propeller shaft to pass under the center portion of the tank. Also, a jet pump is used to transfer the fuel from the side of the tank without the fuel pump assembly to the side with the fuel pump assembly.
