Fuel System

FUEL PUMP

The fuel pump is mounted in the fuel sender assembly reservoir. The fuel pump is an electric high pressure pump. Fuel is pumped to the fuel rail at a specified flow and pressure. The fuel pump delivers a constant flow of fuel to the engine during low fuel conditions and aggressive vehicle maneuvers. The powertrain control module (PCM) controls the electric fuel pump operation through a fuel pump relay. The fuel pump flex pipe acts to dampen the fuel pulses and noise generated by the fuel pump.

REAR FUEL PUMP (DUAL TANK APPLICATIONS ONLY)

On dual tank applications, the rear fuel pump is located in the rear fuel tank. The rear fuel pump is powered by a secondary fuel pump relay when the fuel level drops below a predetermined value. Fuel is transferred from the rear fuel tank to the front fuel tank in order to ensure all of the usable fuel volume is available to the front fuel pump. The secondary fuel pump relay supply voltage is received from the primary fuel pump relay when the front fuel pump is energized.
