Fuel Tank and Lines




Fuel Tank and Lines

The fuel tank and lines consists of the:

- saddle-type fuel tank.
- fuel tank filler pipe.
- fuel tank filler cap.
- Fuel Pump (FP) module.
- fuel level sensor.
- fuel tubes.
- Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor.
- Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch.

The vehicle:

- utilizes an Electronic Returnless Fuel System (ERFS).
- has a dual-container (saddle-type) stamped steel fuel tank, each half equipped with a fuel level sender.
- has a FP module that supplies fuel under pressure to the fuel rail.
- has a fuel tank filler pipe which contains a restrictor plate to permit only unleaded fuel to be pumped into the fuel tank.
- has a fuel tank filler pipe assembly that cannot be modified in any way. The fuel tank filler pipe is serviced only by installing a new filler pipe assembly.
- has a one-fourth turn fuel tank filler cap.
- has a fuel filter that is mounted in front of the fuel tank on the left hand side of the vehicle providing filtration to protect the fuel injectors.
- has fuel tubes (liquid and vapor) combined in a bundle along with the brake tubes mounted on the underside of the floorpan and covered with a protective cover shield.
- has a FTP sensor (part of the fuel vapor tube assembly).
- has quick connect and spring lock fuel tube couplings.

The FP module is controlled by the PCM. Electrical power to the FP is provided through the IFS switch located in the passenger footwell area.
