Your Hyundai Santa Fe has five important parts that make up the fuel tank.

• The fuel tank is where gas is stored in your Hyundai Santa Fe. It can either be produced from metal or plastic. It is designed to fit under the rear end of your Hyundai vehicle and balance its capacity and your Hyundai’s fuel economy.
• The fuel filler cap is an often overlooked but extremely important piece of your Santa Fe’s fuel system because it keeps dirt and other debris from getting in.
• The fuel filler neck is a hose that connects the mouth where the gas cap is located to the Hyundais fuel tank. It is a hose made of either rubber that is connected and held in place with hose clamps, or aluminum, which is soldered to the tank.
• Fuel tank straps are long flat pieces of steel that secure the fuel tank to the frame. They come in a pair that run parallel across the width of it and are bolted into the frame.
• A skid plate is sometimes used for added protection against obstacles on the ground that can damage and even puncture the fuel tank on your Hyundai Santa Fe. They are made of steel and fit over the underside of the tank on your Hyundai.

There are a lot of options for finding a replacement gas tank for your Hyundai Santa Fe.

OEM gas tanks are designed and manufactured by Hyundai or one of its subsidiaries and are custom fit for your Santa Fe.
