gas tanks

Vehicle fuel reservoirs

Gas tanks are containers that hold fuel for vehicles or engines.

The term usually refers to the tank in a car, truck, or motorcycle: I need to fill up the gas tank before we leave.

Gas tanks also appear in lawnmowers, generators, and other gasoline-powered equipment.

The size determines how far a vehicle can travel between fill-ups.
