Fuel Supply Components


Central SFI Fuel System With Fuel Pressure Gauge:






COMPONENTS

The fuel supply system consists of the following components:

- The fuel tank(s) (fuel balance control system when equipped with dual tanks.

- The fuel sender assembly (fuel sender, fuel pump and fuel pump strainer).

- The fuel filter

- The fuel feed and return pipes

- The fuel pump electrical circuit

- The accelerator control components


SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The fuel supply is stored in the fuel tank. An electric fuel pump, located in the fuel tank with the gauge sending unit, pumps fuel through an in-line fuel filter to the fuel meter body assembly.

The pump provides fuel at a pressure greater than is needed by the injectors. The fuel pressure regulator, part of the fuel meter body assembly, keeps the fuel to the injectors at a regulated pressure. The unused fuel is returned to the fuel tank via a separate line.
