Tanques de combustible para Ford F-150

Ford F-150 Fuel Tanks

Tanks store the gas, diesel, or flexible blended solution with gas and ethanol so that your trucks engine can get what it needs for internal combustion. The tanks for the Ford F-150 have a capacity that is in line with other vehicles in its size and weight category. Over years of use, the tanks may need to be replaced due to corrosion, cracking, or a problem with the hoses, injection pumps, or other connections.

• Plastic or metal construction: The tanks may be made from heavy-duty plastic or metal. These materials are designed to be inert so that they do not chemically interact with the diesel or gasoline that is in the tank.
• Locking gas caps: The tanks are available with a locking gas cap. The locking cap requires that a specific key be used in order to access the tank. The caps design is intended to prevent theft of fuel from the vehicle.
• EcoBoost fuel economy technology: These pickups offer EcoBoost technology that is designed to help maximize the vehicles fuel economy. The technology allows the injection pump and sensors to work together and optimize the rate of flow of diesel or gas for improved mileage.

• Select a capacity: Select a capacity for the tank. They are available in capacities of 16 to 18 gallons.
• Choose a manufacturer: Manufacturers of the tanks for the Ford F-150 include AC Delco, Dorman, Ford, Gates, Motorad, Motorcraft, Spectra Premium, and Stant. There are also unbranded tanks available for the F-150 truck.
• Select the model year and fitment: Different model years of the F-150 have slightly different fitment requirements. The fitments, connections, hoses, valves, pumping mechanism, caps, and the tank itself will vary based on the model year that the F-150 was produced.

The gasoline or diesel tank is designed to store the fuel so that it is available to the engine when the engine is running. The tank has a cap to prevent evaporation, leakage, and splashing. The locking of the cap allows for the trucks injection system to initiate when the key is put into the ignition. The tank has a sensor that conveys its capacity ratio to the gas or diesel gauge on the dashboard. The tank also has a sensor that communicates with the airflow sensors in order to optimize the city MPG and highway MPG that the truck gets while it is in use. The injection pump operates on power from the battery and pumps the diesel or gas from the tank into the internal combustion engine where it is converted into energy that moves the pistons that rotate the wheels.
