Truck Parts And Their Functions

Item	Sample Picture	Function
Fuel Level Sending Unit		A fuel level Sending Unit is used to measure the amount of fuel in the fuel tank and communicate the fuel level to the fuel gauge on the vehicle dashboard.
Fuel Tank		The fuel tank, which provides a clean storage area for fuel, is held in place by metal straps that transfer the weight load to the vehicle frame. It is normally mounted between the frame rails. When it is mounted outside the frame rails, it is enclosed in a tube steel cage assembly. Fuel suction and return lines made of polyester-braid-reinforced nylon tubing bring fuel from the tank to the engine, and return surplus fuel from the engine to the tank.
Fuel / Water Separator		The fuel/water separator is mounted on the frame rail, between the fuel tank and the fuel pump. Fuel drawn to the engine travels through the fuel/water separator, which removes water and solid contaminants.
