Fuel Tank and Lines

Fuel Tank and Lines

The fuel tank and lines consist of the:

- L-shaped fuel tank.

- Fuel Pump (FP) module.

- Easy Fuel(TM) (capless) fuel tank filler pipe assembly.

- fuel tubes.

- Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch.

- FP (Fuel Pump) control module.

- Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor (part of the fuel vapor tube assembly).

The vehicle:

- uses a 2-speed Mechanical Returnless Fuel System (MRFS).

- has a standard (L-shaped) fuel tank.

- has a FP (Fuel Pump) module that supplies fuel under pressure to the fuel rail.

- has a lifetime fuel filter (serviced as part of the FP (Fuel Pump) module).

- has a serviceable fuel level sender mounted on the FP (Fuel Pump) module.

- has fuel tubes (liquid and vapor) along with brake tubes mounted on the underside of the vehicle in a bundle.

- has a FTP (Fuel Tank Pressure) sensor (part of the fuel vapor tube assembly).

- fuel injection rail pressure is controlled by the electronic FP (Fuel Pump) module which is enabled by the PCM.

- has an Easy Fuel(TM) (capless) fuel tank filler pipe assembly, which cannot be modified in any way and is serviced only by installation of a new fuel tank filler pipe assembly.

- has a supplemental refueling adapter located behind the RH quarter trim access panel.

- has a FP (Fuel Pump) module that operates on 10 or 12 volts depending on load, that supplies fuel under pressure to the fuel rail.

- has a FP (Fuel Pump) control module located behind the fuel tank, mounted to the underside of the vehicle.

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

Fuel Pump (FP) Shut-off Feature

In the event of a moderate to severe collision, the vehicle is equipped with a Fuel Pump (FP) shut-off feature that is initiated by the event notification signal.

The event notification signal is a signal provided by the Restraints Control Module (RCM) to the FP (Fuel Pump) control module. Signal communication between the RCM (Restraints Control Module) and the FP (Fuel Pump) control module allows the PCM to shut-off the FP (Fuel Pump) module.

Should the vehicle shut off after a collision due to this feature, the vehicle may be restarted by resetting the IFS (Inertia Fuel Shutoff) switch located behind the RH cowl trim panel.
