Fuel Tank and Lines: Overview

Fuel Tank and Lines

OVERVIEW
The fuel system uses an electronic returnless system. The system comprises a pump module mounted in the fuel tank to deliver fuel at variable flow and pressure to the fuel rails which in turn supply fuel to the fuel injectors. Fuel pump operation is regulated by a FPDM (fuel pump driver module) which is controlled by the ECM (engine control module). The FPDM (fuel pump driver module) regulates the flow and pressure supplied by controlling the operation of the fuel pump using a PWM (pulse width modulation) output.
Two fuel level sensors are installed in either side of the saddle tank. The sensors are a MAPPS (magnetic passive position sensor) which provide a variable resistance to ground for the output from the fuel gauge.
The fuel system also incorporates an EVAP (evaporative emission) system which is part of the on-board refueling and vapor recovery feature. The function and operation of the system is designed to meet EVAP (evaporative emission) requirements to minimize fuel vapor losses.
