3.5L
Fuel Tank and Lines
The fuel tank and lines consist of:
- a dual-container (saddle-type) fuel tank.
- a fuel level sensor assembly.
- a Fuel Pump (FP) module that supplies fuel under pressure to the fuel rail.
- a lifetime fuel filter (serviced as part of the FP (Fuel Pump) module).
- an Easy Fuel(TM) (capless) fuel tank filler pipe assembly, which cannot be modified in any way and is serviced only by the installation of a new fuel tank filler pipe assembly.
- a supplemental refueling adapter located in the spare tire compartment.
- a FP (Fuel Pump) module that operates on 10 or 12 volts depending on load, that supplies fuel under pressure to the fuel rail.
- fuel tubes (liquid and vapor) along with brake tubes mounted on the underside of the vehicle in a bundle.
- a Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor (part of the fuel vapor tube assembly).
- a serviceable fuel level sender mounted on the FP (Fuel Pump) module.
- a serviceable fuel level sender mounted on the fuel level sensor assembly.

Fuel Pump (FP) Shut-off Feature
In the event of a moderate to severe collision, the vehicle is equipped with a FP (Fuel Pump) 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).
Should the vehicle shut off after a collision due to this feature, the vehicle may be restarted by first turning the ignition to the OFF position and then turn the ignition to the ON position. In some instances, the vehicle may not start the first time and may take one additional ignition cycle.
