Does the car have a reserve fuel tank when it runs out of gas?

There is a reserve fuel tank. Here are the relevant details: Choosing the right reserve fuel tank: The placement of the reserve fuel tank must ensure no fuel leakage while also considering exhaust and static electricity handling. Metal reserve fuel tanks are the most reliable. Metal is stable but also quite heavy. Gasoline is volatile and sensitive to static electricity, and metal containers can prevent static electricity. Structural strength is reliable: Nowadays, metal tanks are mostly made of steel plates with a thickness of 0.3mm or more, some even reaching 0.8mm, comparable to the car's original fuel tank. Steel is prone to rust, so the surface is usually painted. The downside is that once the tank deforms, the paint can easily peel off. Using a baked paint process would improve this significantly.
