Fuel Tank

Fuel Tanks and Solenoid Valves

The fuel tanks are constructed of fiberglass-wrapped steel, mounted in three insulated racks with one or two tanks per rack. Two racks with 267 mm (10.68 inch) diameter tanks are located in the luggage compartment, one above the rear axle area (upper rack), and the other (rear rack) to the rear. The lower rack has two 218.75 mm (8.75 inch) diameter tanks and is located in the production gasoline fuel tank area. Each tank has an internal, normally closed solenoid shutoff valve wired to the inertia fuel shutoff circuit to isolate the fuel tanks in the event of a collision.

Note: The manufacturer gives dimensions (above) but not capacities for the fuel cells.
