 - Fuel tanks range in size and complexity from the small plastic tank of a butane lighter to the multi-chambered cryogenic Space Shuttle external tank
- For one car model, different versions of fuel system designs have to be developed with more or less components, depending on the type of the car, the type of fuel (gasoline or diesel), nozzle models and the region where the car will be circulating
- Remote opening: Modern cars includes remote opening of the fuel tank fuel filler flap using an electric motor
- Some expensive cars even have fuel tanks that cannot be opened by hand or by any way from the outside of the car
- The proper design and construction of a fuel tank plays a major role in the safety of the system of which the tank is a part
- In automotive applications, improper placement of the fuel tank has led to increased probability of fire in collisions
