Fuel Tank and Lines — 2.5L Duratec (147kW/200PS) - VI5 –Overview
Fuel tank
The fuel tank is the same on vehicles with FWD
and AWD. The fuel tank is saddle-shaped to accommodate the drive shaft and the exhaust
system. Depending on the design, the volume of
the tank is 56 liters or 66 liters.

Changing the right-hand fuel pump and level
indicator module
E113328
If the right-hand fuel pump and level indicator
module needs to be changed on a vehicle with a
booster heater/additional heater, the bore for the
connection to the fuel-fired booster
heater/additional heater must be drilled.
The right-hand fuel pump and level indicator
module contains a demand-switched electric fuel
pump which drives two suction jet pumps. One of
them ensures that fuel is pumped from the left-hand
half of the tank into the right-hand half. On-demand
switching is performed by the fuel pump module.
To remove the right-hand fuel pump and level
indicator module it is necessary to detach theleft-hand fuel pump and level indicator module and
pull it out slightly so that the connecting hose can
be detached and the connector for the left-hand
fuel pump and level indicator module can be
disconnected. The left-hand fuel pump and level
indicator module can be removed without detaching
the right-hand fuel pump and level indicator
module.
The instrument cluster uses the signals from both
fuel fill level sensors to determine the fuel fill level.
The resistor tracks of the fuel fill level sensors
cannot be replaced individually.
The fuel filter is designed to last for the service life
of the vehicle and does not need to be replaced.
The right-hand fuel pump and level indicator
module contains an overpressure limiting valve.
This overpressure limiting valve ensures that the
fuel pressure between the injectors and the
right-hand fuel pump and level indicator module
does not exceed 3.3 bar after the engine is
stopped. This reduces the formation of vapor
bubbles and also prevents dripping from the
injectors.
Fuel filler pipe and tank cap
NOTE:
Any water in the filling area can cause the
mechanism to freeze at temperatures below 0 °C.
In this case the closing mechanism will not open
when the nozzle of the petrol/diesel pump is
inserted.

A spring-loaded fuel filler door closes off the upper
end of the fuel tank filler pipe in place of the filler
cap. The spring-loaded fuel filler door features a
latching mechanism. The release mechanism is
matched to the size of the filler nozzle. If the correct
filler nozzle is inserted, the release lugs are pushed
back. This releases the slide which can move
upwards and opens the way to the spring-loaded
fuel filler door for the filler nozzle.
