HOW FUEL TANKS WORK

All drivers have had experience of fueling up their cars' fuel tanks, but do you really know what happens inside the car? After you start the car, the electronic fuel pump sends a computer-controlled amount to the engine through the fuel wires that are located underneath the car. The computer also controls the amount of gas released when you accelerate and decelerate. Information on how much fuel is left is also given, which is shown by the gas gauge.


The gas tanks are slightly slanted so the computer will still get all of the gas in the tank. Without the slight slope, the car will not be able to use all of the gas, which can lower the fuel range and your wallet.
