Fuel System

The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric fuel pump, located in the fuel tank within the modular fuel sender assembly, pumps fuel through an in-line fuel filter to the fuel rail assembly. The pump provides fuel pressure greater than is needed by the injectors. The fuel pressure regulator keeps fuel available to the injectors at a regulated pressure. A separate fuel pipe is used to return fuel to the fuel tank.

Unleaded fuel must be used with all gasoline engines for proper emission control system operation. Using unleaded fuel will also decrease spark plug fouling and extend engine oil life. Leaded fuel can damage the emission control system, and its use can result in loss of emission warranty coverage.

All vehicles with gasoline engines are equipped with an evaporative emission system that minimizes the escape of fuel vapors to the atmosphere.
