Fuel System - General Inform
ation - Fuel System
Description an
d Operation

The fuel tank is mounted across the vehicle behind the passenger compartment bulkhead.
Fuel is drawn by the fuel pump from the tank and then supplied to the two fuel rails, via a filter.
Fuel injectors are installed in the fuel ra ils on each side of the intake manifold.
The amount of fuel injected into th e engine is controlled by the ECM.
A cross-over pipe connects the two fuel ra ils together at the front of the manifold.
A test valve in the cross-over pipe allo ws the fuel rail to be pressurized and de-pressurized during the servicing and
troubleshooting procedures.
A pressure regulator on the rear of the right fuel rail controls the pressure in the fuel rails.
A return line directs excess fuel from the pressure regulator back to the fuel tank.
Operation and service procedures
The fuel injector
s, rails, pres
sure regulator and, wher e fitted, supercharger are described in greater detail in Section 303-04
together with servicing procedures.
The fuel tank, pump, fuel level senders and fuel lines are similarly covered in Section 310-01.

1.
WARNING: BEFORE PROCEEDING, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT
THE WARNING NOTES GIVEN IN SECTION 100-00 (UNDER THE
HEADING 'SAFETY PRECAUTIONS') ARE READ AND
UNDERSTOOD.
Remove the battery. Refer to operation 86.15.01.

2. De
pressurise the fuel system.
E

nsure that the ignition is
switched off and remove the
valve cap from the fuel cross-over pipe. Place a cloth
under the valve to collect any spillage.
Pla
ce a closed container, su
itable for collecting fuel,
adjacent to the vehicle. Remove the lid.

3. Conne
ct the fuel injection pressu
re test equipment JD 209 (or
other suitable type). Insert the drain / bleed tube into the fuel
container. Follow the manufa cturer's instructions and
depressurise the fuel system.
4. Store the drained fuel safely and ensure that the lid is closed
securely. Remove the equipmen t and discard the cloth from
beneath the valve. Refit the valve cap.
5. Use a suitable fuel storage tank er / pump system to drain the
vehicle tank as described below.
6. Connect a ground cable betw een the vehicle and drain
equipment and connect both to a suitable earth point.

7. At the engine bay bulkhead, lo cate the quick fit connecto
r
between the underfloor fuel feed pipe and the fuel pulse
damper.
Pla
ce a cloth under the pipes
to absorb any spillage.
D
isconnect the fuel feed hose
at the quick fit connector,
using special tool JD 182.
Conne
ct the fuel drain equipment to the underfloor fuel
feed pipe.
8. Drain the fuel tank in accordance with the equipment
manufacturers instructions.

Fuel Tank

Parts List
The steel fuel tank is located inside the trunk and mounted across the vehicle behind the passenger compartment bulkhead.
The fuel tank is held in posi tion by two retaining straps fi tted to body-mounted brackets.
The fuel tank has an integral non-adjustable fill er pipe and integral breather and vapor pipework.
A single fuel pump is mounted inside the tank on vehicles with normally aspirated engines. For vehicles with supercharged
engines, two pumps are fitted in the tank. Fuel is drawn by the pump(s) from the fuel tank and supplied via the fuel lines
and 70 micron filter to the fuel rails.
The fuel lines run from front-to-rear down the vehicle's left-hand-side.

Filler Cap and P
ipe
The fuel
filler cap with bayonet-type fixi
ng is located beneath a remote-release sp ring-latched lid on the rear saddle panel
on the left-hand-side of the vehicle.
Fuel Pum
p
The fu
el pump(s) is energized by an ECM co
ntrolled relay. Fuel is drawn by this pu mp and supplied to the fuel injectors via
the fuel line, filter and fuel rails.
Servicing of the fuel pump re quires fuel tank removal.
Ev
aporative Loss Flange Assembly
The evaporative-loss flan
ge asse
mbly is mounted centrally on top of the tank. The flange assembly consists of a removeable
steel cap which mounts the evaporative emissions system vapor outlet valves and, if applicable, a pressure sensor. The
external electrical supply to th e fuel pump(s) is also made via a connector on the flange.
The flange assembly is fixed to the tank by a locking ring which is turned usin g special tool JD-174. A seal is fitted between
the flange assembly and the tank. Three di fferent flange assemblies are applicable according to the evaporative emission
system fitted to the vehicle. The fl ange size and fixing are identical fo r the three systems, as described.
Removal of the evaporative flange assembly is necessary to gain access to th e fuel pump(s) and other internal components.
To remove the evaporative fl ange assembly the fuel tank must first be removed.
The evaporative flange variant assemblies are described, together with service information, in Section 303-13.
Fuel R
eturn
Excess fuel
is directed back to
the fuel tank via a return line.
Fuel Pum
p Relay
The
fuel pump relay,
under control of the ECM, switches power to the fuel pump motor.
I
nertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
The IF
S switch is located in the right-hand
side footwell behind the footboard carpet . When activated the switch isolates the
ignition system and fuel pump, releases any locked doors and disables unnecessary electrical systems. The system can be
reset by pressing down the flexible cover on the top of the switch.
• NOTE: The doors will not unlock if the IFS switch is tripped when the ignition switch is in position '0'.

P a
rts List
The fuel level sensor is mounte d on the fuel tank vertical face and reacts to level changes via a float and pivot which is
connected to a potentiometer. As the fuel level drops the resistance increases.
The fuel level sensor can be serviced without removing the tank.
