Genuine Ford Fuel Tanks

What Is a Ford Fuel Tank?

The Ford fuel tank is the storage container that holds the vehicle's fuel until it is needed by the engine. It is an essential part of the fuel system, designed to safely store petrol or diesel and supply fuel to the engine through the fuel pump, fuel lines and other fuel system components.

Ford fuel tanks are engineered to withstand the demands of everyday driving, including vibration, temperature changes and exposure to road conditions. Depending on the vehicle, the fuel tank may be positioned underneath the vehicle, typically between or around the chassis rails, with its design and capacity varying between models and configurations.

Common Ford Fuel Tank Capacities

Fuel tank capacity varies significantly depending on the Ford model, engine, body style and model year. Passenger cars generally have smaller tanks, while larger SUVs, utes and commercial vehicles may have greater fuel capacity to provide a longer driving range.

For example, Ford vehicles can have fuel tank capacities ranging from approximately 40 litres to more than 100 litres, depending on the model and configuration. Some common examples include:

• Ford Ranger: Many Ranger variants have fuel tanks around the 80-litre capacity, although capacity can vary by model, engine and production year.
• Ford Everest: Depending on the model and year, Everest fuel tank capacity can be around 80 litres.
• Ford Mustang: Typically uses a smaller fuel tank than Ford's larger SUVs and utes, with capacity varying between generations.
• Ford Transit: Fuel tank capacity varies according to the vehicle configuration and model year, with some variants offering larger tanks for commercial use.
• Ford Falcon: Fuel tank capacity varies across different generations and engine configurations.

Always check the specifications for your particular Ford before ordering a replacement fuel tank, as capacity and tank design can differ even between variants of the same model.

Does a Ford Have Two Fuel Tanks?

Some Ford vehicles can have more than one fuel tank or a dual-tank arrangement, depending on the model, market, body configuration and fuel system design. In these applications, the tanks and associated fuel system components work together to provide the required fuel capacity.

Dual-tank systems can be particularly useful where additional fuel capacity and driving range are required. However, not every Ford with a large fuel capacity uses two separate tanks, so it's important to identify the correct configuration for your vehicle.
