Fuel Tank: Description and Operation

The fuel tank and lines system consists of the following components:

Fuel Tank
The fuel tank has a capacity of approximately 75L (20 gallons) of fuel.

Fuel Tank Support Straps
The fuel tank support straps support the fuel tank.

Fuel Tank Filler Pipe
The fuel tank filler pipe has a restrictor which prevents the use of the larger leaded fuel nozzles.

Filter
The in-line fuel filter provides fine filtration to protect the small metering orifices of the fuel injector nozzles. Install a new fuel filter when it becomes restricted.

Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
In event of a collision, the electrical contacts in the inertia fuel shutoff switch will open and the FDM shuts off. To reset the inertia fuel shutoff switch, depress the button on top of the inertia fuel shutoff switch.

Fuel Pump
The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank. It has an internal motor which creates fuel pressure in the fuel lines to the engine. The fuel pump is controlled by the fuel pump relay, which is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
