Fuel Tank and Lines




Fuel Tank and Lines

The fuel system consists of the following components:

- Fuel tank:
- The midship fuel tank is between the frame side rails on the LH side

- The aft-of-axle fuel tank is mounted at the rear of the vehicle between the frame rails


- Fuel tank filler pipe which contains a restrictor plate to permit only unleaded fuel to be pumped into the fuel tank

- Quarter-turn fuel tank filler cap

- Fuel tubes

- Vapor tubes

- Fuel Pump (FP) and sender assembly which provides filtered, pressurized fuel to the engine and a signal to indicate fuel level to the instrument cluster, and contains:
- a serviceable fuel sender.

- an inlet filter.

- a check valve that maintains system pressure after the FP (Fuel Pump) is shut off.

- a lifetime fuel filter.


The FP (Fuel Pump) is controlled by the PCM which energizes the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). Electrical power to the pump is provided through the FPCM (Fuel Pump Control Module).
