Ford Torino Fuel Tanks

Fuel tanks are an integral part of the fuel system of any Ford vehicle, including the Ford Torino. These tanks provide a convenient and safe compartment to house and store gas until the Ford needs to use it in the combustion process to start the engine. Ford gas tanks come in a variety of styles and have several complementary parts and maintenance needs.

How do Ford fuel tanks work?

The tanks that hold your Fords gas are one part of a multi-part fuel system. They work in tandem with other components in your vehicle to not only store the gas until it is needed but help transport it to the engine when you need to start or drive the car. Understanding the various applications of both the fuel tank and the rest of the system can help you identify any problems with the tank as they arise and maintain it in good working order. The parts and their features are explained below:

The fuel tank holds the gasoline but contains housing areas for fuel pumps as well.
The pumps draw gas from the tank when the car is in motion and send it along fuel lines where it eventually goes to a cylinder chamber in the Fords engine to begin the combustion process.
The gas from the tank first passes through a filter that works to get rid of any impurities in the fuel. It then moves to a fuel injector before reaching the combustion chamber.
Most fuel tanks have internal baffles that prevent the gas in them from moving around too much and making undue noise, thus keeping the fuel both quiet and relatively stable.
All Ford gas tanks are vented to provide evaporative emission and reduce the impact of burned fuel on the environment.

What types of Ford fuel tanks are there?

There are two primary materials used in the production of fuel tanks, including those made for Ford vehicles such as the Torino. Each type has its own benefits depending on your needs and preferences.

Metal tanks are constructed from either steel or aluminum and welded together from large metal sheets. These types of fuel tanks are good for limiting the number of emissions produced when your Ford burns gas in the combustion process.
High-density plastic, or HDPE fuel tanks, are made from resilient polyethylene plastic that is crafted via blow molding. These tanks can be shaped to fit the unique specifications of your Ford vehicle, thus providing you with a unique fuel tank that may save space or have other benefits.
