Fuel System


Fuel System Description

System Overview

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