Fuel Tank

Fuel Tank

The plastic blow-molded fuel tank is a saddle shape tank with LH and RH fuel compartments. The tank is located below the rear passenger seat with the drive shaft and exhaust running through the arch of the tank. The underside of the tank is protected by a heat shield. The tank assembly is retained by two metal straps which are fixed to the underbody at the front by removable hinge pins and at the rear by bolts.


Refueling is via a separate filler pipe and connecting hose to a stub pipe on the RH fuel compartment.


A variable speed fuel pump module is located in the RH compartment. Jet pumps are located in both compartments with external crossover pipes for fuel transfer between the compartments. The crossover pipes and electrical connectors exit the fuel tank through top plates which are secured in the tank using screw-on closure rings. The components on the top of the fuel tank are accessible from inside the vehicle via two access holes in the floor panel below the rear seat.
