AUTOMOBILE GAS TANK

One place where most families keep a supply of fuel is in their cars. The gasoline tank is usually located toward the back of the car.

WITH ADULT ASSISTANCE: Making sure the engine is off and brakes set, look under the car behind the filler cap and try to find the fuel tank and filler tube. A smaller tube that goes from the tank to a vent in the filler cap is the escape valve that allows air to move in and out of the tank.
