fuel tank
Vehicle's liquid storage
A fuel tank is a container that holds fuel for an engine or heating system.
Cars, motorcycles, boats, and aircraft all have fuel tanks.
The size varies with the vehicle's needs—a motorcycle's tank holds a few gallons, while an airliner's tanks hold thousands.
We need to stop—the fuel tank is nearly empty.
