Where is the fuel tank located on an EBFL?

• A. In the nose under bumper
• B. Behind the cab, left side behind driver
• C. Behind the cab, right side behind driver
• D. Under the seat

Answer: (B)

Fuel tanks on EBFLs are placed behind the cab on the left side behind the driver. This positioning helps keep the heavy fuel mass toward the rear of the vehicle, which improves stability and handling when lifting and moving loads. It also protects the tank from heat and impact by staying out of the front of the machine and places the filler access in a convenient spot for the operator. Other placements tend to disrupt balance or make refueling less practical, so the left-rear location behind the operator is chosen for safety, balance, and maintenance convenience.
