Fuel Delivery System
Fuel Delivery Components:
The fuel delivery system consists of:
- the fuel pump module containing the electric fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor) and a fuel filter
- fuel tubes/lines/hoses
- quick-connect fittings
- fuel injector rail
- fuel tank
- fuel tank filler/vent tube assembly
- fuel tank filler tube cap
- accelerator pedal
- throttle cable
Fuel is picked up in the fuel tank by the fuel pump module. This module is located on the bottom of the fuel tank.
A fuel return system is provided within the fuel pump module using check valves. A separate fuel return line from the engine to the tank is not used.
The fuel pressure regulator and the main fuel filter are combined within the fuel pump module.
The fuel tank assembly consists of: the fuel tank,fuel pump module assembly, fuel pump module lock ring/gasket, ORVR components.
A fuel filler/vent tube assembly using a pressure/vacuum, 1/4 turn fuel filler cap is used. A one-way check valve is installed into the tanks fuel fill fitting.
Also to be considered part of the fuel system is the evaporation control system and ORVR system. This is designed to reduce the emission of fuel vapors into the atmosphere.
Both fuel filters are designed for extended service.They do not require normal scheduled maintenance.
