Fuel Tank: Description and Operation

Fuel Tank Assembly:

The plastic fuel tank is mounted to the frame rails under the left/center side of the vehicle. The fuel tank contains a serviceable fuel tank module and fuel level sending unit. The tank is also equipped with 2 fuel lines: a fuel supply line to the fuel pump, and a separate fuel return line. A section of the fuel return line is coiled at the rear section of the tank. This coiled section is used to help drop the temperature of fuel returning to the tank.

A fuel tank mounted, electric fuel pump is not used with diesel powered models. Refer to Fuel Tank Module for additional information.
