Fuel Tank and Lines

Fuel Tank and Lines

The fuel tank and lines consist of the:

- L-shaped fuel tank.
- Fuel Pump (FP) module.
- Easy Fuel(TM) (capless) fuel tank filler pipe assembly.
- fuel tubes.
- Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch.
- FP control module.
- Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor (part of the fuel vapor tube assembly).

The vehicle:

- uses a 2-speed Mechanical Returnless Fuel System (MRFS).
- has a standard (L-shaped) fuel tank.
- has a FP module that supplies fuel under pressure to the fuel rail.
- has a lifetime fuel filter (serviced as part of the FP module).
- has a serviceable fuel level sender mounted on the FP module.
- has fuel tubes (liquid and vapor) along with brake tubes mounted on the underside of the vehicle in a bundle.
- has a FTP sensor (part of the fuel vapor tube assembly).
- fuel injection rail pressure is controlled by the electronic FP module which is enabled by the PCM.
- has an Easy Fuel(TM) (capless) fuel tank filler pipe assembly, which cannot be modified in any way and is serviced only by installation of a new fuel tank filler pipe assembly.
- has a supplemental refueling adapter located behind the RH quarter trim access panel.
- has a FP module that operates on 10 or 12 volts depending on load, that supplies fuel under pressure to the fuel rail.
- has a FP control module located behind the fuel tank, mounted to the underside of the vehicle.
- has an IFS switch located behind the RH cowl trim panel.

Fuel Pump (FP) Shut-off Feature

In the event of a moderate to severe collision, the vehicle is equipped with a Fuel Pump (FP) shut-off feature that is initiated by the event notification signal.

The event notification signal is a signal provided by the Restraints Control Module (RCM) to the FP control module. Signal communication between the RCM and the FP control module allows the PCM to shut-off the FP module.

Should the vehicle shut off after a collision due to this feature, the vehicle may be restarted by resetting the IFS switch located behind the RH cowl trim panel.
