why does fuel tank have different compartments?

both are good answers but the word is baffels. in tanker trucks they are required to stop the inersha of the liquid from moving the truck forward after it stops. Think 5,500 gal at 7 lbs a gallon, moving independently. Other reasons to have a compartment are different liquid within the same tank or a sump to collect heavy contanminits.

because they use different material than each other

There are two things that you need to check. The sending unit that is usually located on the top of the tank, and the guage usually in the dash. Don't forget to check the wiring between them.

Strapping tables are unique for each tank; they take into account geometry, size, internals, etc.  They are provided with the tank.  There is a program that can create strapping tables; I've included a link below.

Rockets carry two components -- fuel to burn and their own oxidizer to enable that in the near-vacuum of space.  In the case of liquid fuels, the two components must be stored separately.  Some solid rocket propellants have the fuel and oxidizer mixed together.

It should say right on the label on the tank that you must not store the tanks indoors. If one of the valves failed or was opened up by a small child, it could spark and make a huge explosion. . . not to mention it would poison your house with the gas.\nThat is why you always see those "exchange a tank" places keeping their tanks outside. (Like at Home Depot)

With the air holes closed, there is a shortage of oxygen and the hydrocarbons in the gas do not burn completely. Some carbon is not burnt resulting in soot

because the sr-71 flew at high speeds and altitudes therefore the plane used to get heated up and as a result it body expanded.   in order to ensure that the body didnt crack on account of expansions designers left some spaces which resulted in fuel leak.  that was the reason why it wasnt fully fuelled before take off.\n\nafter it had taken off and "warmed up" mid air refuelling was carried out

well yea he is right to a point. it falls on the person that is using the tank. the bigger and/or taller the person is the more air they would use and the smaller the less. easy way to explain it is. think of a small car vs a huge truck. which uses more gas ??

A sending unit in the tank that works with a float controls the gas gauge. A float type apperatus in the gasoline pump nozzle shuts off the flow of gas when gas begins to back-up in the filler neck as the tank nears full.

Because not everything is the same size & mass and going at the same speed, etc. Those attributes... vary.

The amount of gas is determined by the size of the tank.  At most tracks, it is 22 gallons, and 2 tracks, it is 13 gallons.  Horsepower has nothing to do with the amount of gas each car holds.  If you are asking about fuel mileage, that is a completely different answer and is determined by the individual cars and how each driver drives their car.

Not a good question. Power is related to the volume of fuel/air mixture.

i will say it is under the body on the left hand side *when you look from the front of the car to the back*, or between wheel to wheel underneth the body.  on that web that guy give you is not the same as your car, so it make the fuel filter in the different place.  all 95 through the 06 sable, focus, milan, 500, taurus, mystque, contour, and Mazda6 has almost the same design of the fuel filter system.  with those kind body design, most of the fuel filter is underneth the body instead in the engine.  but you can go to the dealer or auto zone to ask and they will tell you where the location is at.

A mechanical fuel pump uses the rotation of the engine (normally a lobe on the cam shaft) to power it, whereas an electrical fuel pump is powered by the vehicles battery.

get a second opinion- Sorry a fuse is good or bad - no middle. you have an issue withe the sending unit in the tank - it is a simple but not a cheap part- most of the sending units have an arm that rides up and down with the fuel level- sometimes where the arm rubs against can loose contact and cause a gauge to read empty- or loose ground withe the tank. should be cheaper than 500.00 maybe
