Fuel Tanks & Fuel Caps

Fuel Tanks Information

Your fuel tank, or gas tank, is a container that supplies the engine with fuel for your vehicle to function. A collision, corrosion or damage can spell the end for your fuel tank. If water (or any other nasty substance) gets into your fuel tank, it can cause corrosion. While you won’t be able to see inside, you may notice sediment or obstructions appearing in your fuel filter. If you notice this, it is a sign you may need to get your fuel tank replaced.

Fuel caps are also at risk from wear and tear, bumps and scrapes and vandalism. If you notice a missing or damaged fuel cap or have been in an accident, be sure to check your car fuel tank and gas cap for damage.
