The Mazda 3 Fuel Tank acts as safe storage for fuel in the car and also holds essential parts that ensure the engine is maintained and the air remains clean. Each factory tank is fitted with an electric pump and gauge sender that are submerged in fuel, pumping gasoline and sending level information, and stout baffles control slosh to ensure that pressure remains constant when making quick turns and abrupt braking. The sealed shell of the tank constitutes an important component of the EVAP mechanism that contains vapors until they are directed to the engine to be combusted, avoiding the release of raw hydrocarbons. Previous models of Mazda applied stamped and welded steel tanks, which could withstand impacts, but over time, salt, moisture, and debris exposed them to external corrosion and internal rust, which eventually led to leaks. Later Mazda compacts tend to have lighter blow-molded designs in high density polyethylene and are entirely resistant to rust, as well as damping road noise, though extreme temperature changes or hard hits may cause cracks. The two styles have been applied throughout the years of the Mazda 3, with each year coming off the production line leak tested and with new seals and locking rings to ensure a tight fit. Whatever the material, the Fuel Tank is located under the back floor, where it has to endure rain, snow, and gravel, thus firm mounting straps are absolutely necessary. To pick the appropriate Fuel Tank is to match the shape, filler neck, and vents for a direct-fit solution, restoring range and confidence.
