fuel tanks
Vehicle energy storage
Fuel tanks are containers that hold fuel—gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, or other combustibles—for engines or heating systems.
Vehicles have fuel tanks sized to their range and consumption: a car's tank holds perhaps fifteen gallons, while an aircraft's tanks may span the wings.
The fuel tank was nearly empty.
External or auxiliary fuel tanks extend range beyond standard capacity.
