Fuel Tank and Lines

Fuel Tank and Lines

The fuel tank and lines consist of:

- a standard fuel tank.

- a Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor (part of the fuel tank assembly).

- a Fuel Pump (FP) module containing:
- an electric FP (Fuel Pump), which provides pressurized fuel to the fuel rail.

- a serviceable fuel level sender mounted on the FP (Fuel Pump) module.

- a lifetime fuel filter (serviced as part of the FP (Fuel Pump) module).

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

- a pressure relief valve for overpressure protection in the event of restricted fuel flow.


- fuel tubes (liquid and vapor) along with brake tubes mounted on the underside of the vehicle in a bundle.

- a one-fourth turn vented type fuel tank filler cap.

- a fuel tank filler pipe which:
- has a recirculation tube.

- has a fresh air hose and spider trap.

- has a restrictor plate to permit only unleaded fuel to be pumped into the tank.

- cannot be modified in any way and is serviced only by the installation of a new fuel tank filler pipe.


The vehicle:

- has an Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch located behind the RH cowl trim panel.

Fuel Pump (FP) Shut-off Feature

The FP (Fuel Pump) module is controlled by the PCM. Electrical power to the FP (Fuel Pump) module is provided through the IFS (Inertia Fuel Shutoff) switch that will de-energize the fuel delivery secondary circuit in the event of a moderate to severe collision. The IFS (Inertia Fuel Shutoff) switch is a safety device, located under the RH lower cowl trim panel. Should the vehicle shut off after a collision due to this feature, restart the vehicle by first turning the ignition OFF, push the reset button on the IFS (Inertia Fuel Shutoff) switch, then turn the ignition to the ON position.
