The Mazda RX-8 Fuel Tank ensures that every drop of gasoline is directed to the rotary engine, ensures that harmful vapors are contained within, and gives drivers a reliable range and confidence. The tank, which is mounted low close to the rear axle, balances the weight of the nimble RX-8 chassis and incorporates shape-cut baffles to ensure that the fuel remains around the pump during sharp turns, a feature that boosts consistency on track days as well as during daily commuting. There are two factory constructions, early-year rugged stamped steel and later-run lightweight high-density polyethylene, both Mazda factory pressure tested to prevent leaks before a car ever comes off the Hiroshima line. A small module made up of an integrated electric pump, level sender, and rollover valve reduces the number of parts and enhances reliability, and the assembly directly connects to the evaporative emission control system to reduce hydrocarbon loss and remain compliant with strict laws without adding unnecessary complexity. Since the rear mounting points and geometry of the filler neck were the same between 2003 and 2012, Mazda enthusiasts and RX-8 supporters can install a new Fuel Tank on all the trim levels, whether they have the base six-speed or the more powerful R3 without worrying that it will not fit. The shell is clamped with sturdy coated steel straps against road splash, salt, and gravel, and with a new Fuel Tank the life of the shell can remain unchanged by replacing them. Feedback from crash tests in the motorsport business stimulated enhanced seam welds and cleverer channeling of vents, hence contemporary models resist puncture but remain lightweight to maintain the well-known near fifty-fifty balance of a Mazda sports vehicle. This combination of strength, control of vapors and reduction in weight makes the component a small yet significant hero to the overall story of performance.
