Fuel Reservoir: Description and Operation

FUEL RESERVOIR

Fuel Pump Module:




The fuel pump is located in a large plastic reservoir which is a part of the fuel pump module. The fuel pump module is installed in the top of the fuel tank. This reservoir contains approximately 1 liter of fuel and remains full while the engine is running. A valve located in the bottom of the reservoir will close when the fuel level in the tank is below approximately 1 inch to supply the fuel pump with fuel from the reservoir to prevent cavitation of the fuel pump.
