gas tank
Vehicle's petroleum container
A gas tank is the container in a vehicle that holds fuel.
Though called a gas tank even for diesel vehicles, the term reflects the American habit of calling all automotive fuel "gas." To run on empty or be running on fumes means the gas tank is nearly dry—literally or as a metaphor for exhaustion.
