Location of fuel tank
The fuel tank in the smart model series is located 
in the area in front of the rear axle or under the 
load compartment floor.
The fuel lines run in protected areas and are 
made of plastic. In the engine compartment they 
are routed so that the deformation caused by a 
collision will not usually break the fuel lines. The 
fuel pump is shut down automatically when one of 
the airbags is triggered.
