Hi guys, by the way I am not a geek; I am just mad! I know this is a hard topic, but once I complete the work that is set for me in my GCSE maths lessons - I have been guaranteed an A with hardly any work!, I sit and throw questions at our teacher, and he lets me write anything down that is maths related. I have almost worked out the average size of a F1 fuel tank, it is really hard to predict! 1st Variable : Engine Consumption: 75 litres (El) / 100 km (Ekm) - Taken as an overall average (75l/100km) 2nd Variable : Track Length (L) 3rd Variable : Pitstops (P) - Taken as an average of 2 per race Fixed Point Figure : Qualifier 3 Pitstop (Q3)- Cars can be refuelled between Q2 and Q3. Fuel may not be added to nor removed from any car eligible to take part in Q3 between the start of Q3 and the start of the race, unless any eligible car was unable to take part in. Any competitor whose car is eligible but unable to take part Q3 must, prior to the start of Q3, inform the FIA in writing what quantity of fuel they wish to add to the car. Any such refuelling will take place when the car is released from parc fermé on the day of the race. When a fuel breather and an external fuel pressurising device for starting the engine (in which case only fuel on board the car may be used for running the engine), no connection may be made to the fuel system of any car eligible to take part in Q3 between the start of Q3 and the start of the race. Other than a fuel breather and an external fuel pressurising device for starting the engine (in which case only fuel on board the car may be used for running the engine), or when race fuel is being added, no connection may be made to the fuel system of any car between the end of qualifying practice and the start of the race.
From the FIA Regulations * = Times ( 4 x 3 = 4 * 3 ) Well here is the equation: (L / Ekm) * (El) / (P+Q3) or for the non-mathematically minded people on this Earth: (Track Length / Engine Consumption Km)(Engine Consumption Litres)/(Pit Stops + Q3)= (Track Length / 100) * (75) / (2+1) = (Track Length / 100) * 75 / 3 = Bahrain for example: Track Length = 308.769km, so... (308.769 / 100) * 75 / 3 = 3.08769 * 75 / 3 = 231.57675 / 3 = 77.19225 Litres - The Estimated size of the fuel tank is therefore about 80 litres (Rounded off to the nearest 10) Hopes this answers your question!

Where can i find a diagram for a ford f150 fuel tank assembly?
You can find a fuel tank assembly diagram for your Ford F1 50 pickup truck at most Ford dealerships. Ford service manuals will have the fuel tank assembly diagram and can be found at your local library.
How big is a formula 1 racing cars fuel tank?
Actual size of it these days has no regulations as volume is not accurate, instead they would use weight. 2014 regulations say that no more than 100kg of fuel can be used during the race. As a result, I would presume the size would be enough so that about 110kg or so is used may be more or slightly less. 100kg of fuel is equivilant to about 140 litres. So, I will estimate about the size of a F1 fuel would hold about 150 litres but in past, that had been upto 200 litres, so it can still be 200 litres of fuel that can be stored in a signle tank. The size is kept secrete between each team and the size of it wouldn'tbe released as even the size of a fuel tank can be the difference between winning or loosing the championship.
What is an F1 Car fuel tank capacity?
90 liters . Although very rarely is it filled up due to weight consideration.
How much fuel capacity of F1 cars?
180 litres, I believe, however all cars are under-fueled for the race so the driver must save fuel to make it to the end of the race, but this also makes the car lighter in the early stages of the race.
What size gas tank in a 2001 Ford F-150?
