things like the gas tank and filters are outside the equation. They are simply holding areas for the supplies needed by the "body." The gas tank is like my fridge or pantry and the filters are like my Brita water pitcher or the sink where i wash off my food.

I'd have to say that more accurately, the intake manifold = the lungs.
 
Air filter would be the cilia (?) in the nose and throat that filters out all the bad stuff in the air on the way down.
 
How about the catalytic converters as part of the filtering system (kidneys, liver, etc.)?
 
Exhaust manifolds/headers = small intestine?
