Fuel Tank and Lines

Fuel Tank and Lines

The fuel tank and lines consist of:

- a standard fuel tank.
- a Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor (part of the fuel tank assembly).
- a Fuel Pump (FP) module containing:
- an electric FP, which provides pressurized fuel to the fuel rail.
- a serviceable fuel level sender mounted on the FP module.
- a lifetime fuel filter (serviced as part of the FP module).
- a check valve, which maintains system pressure after the FP is shut off.
- a pressure relief valve for overpressure protection in the event of restricted fuel flow.

- fuel tubes (liquid and vapor) along with brake tubes mounted on the underside of the vehicle in a bundle.
- a one-fourth turn vented type fuel tank filler cap.
- a fuel tank filler pipe which:
- has a recirculation tube.
- has a fresh air hose and spider trap.
- has a restrictor plate to permit only unleaded fuel to be pumped into the tank.
- cannot be modified in any way and is serviced only by the installation of a new fuel tank filler pipe.

The vehicle:

- has an Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch located behind the RH cowl trim panel.


Fuel Pump (FP) Shut-off Feature

The FP module is controlled by the PCM. Electrical power to the FP module is provided through the IFS switch that will de-energize the fuel delivery secondary circuit in the event of a moderate to severe collision. The IFS switch is a safety device, located under the RH lower cowl trim panel. Should the vehicle shut off after a collision due to this feature, restart the vehicle by first turning the ignition OFF, push the reset button on the IFS switch, then turn the ignition to the ON position.
