WARNING: Do not smoke or carry lighted tobacco or open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

The mechanical returnless fuel system (MRFS) consists of:
- the fuel tank
- the fuel tank filler pipe which contains a restrictor plate to permit only an unleaded fuel nozzle to be
- a 1/8 turn fuel tank filler cap
- a fuel filter providing filtration to protect the fuel injectors
- fuel supply and return lines
- a top-mount, bottom-sense fuel delivery module containing:
- the electric fuel pump which provides pressurized fuel to the engine
- the fuel level sensor
- an inlet filter
- a check valve which maintains system pressure after the pump is shut off
- a pressure relief valve for overpressure protection in the event of restricted flow
- a fuel pressure regulator

The fuel pump is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM) which energizes the fuel pump relay.

Electrical power to the pump is provided through the fuel shutoff switch. The fuel shutoff switch is located on the toe board to the left of the right-hand kick panel. Fuel pressure is controlled by the fuel pressure regulator which is mounted to the fuel pump bracket within the fuel tank.

A roll over protection valve is also mounted to the fuel pump. The roll over protection valve can not be repaired and if necessary a new one must be installed. A fill limiting vent valve is also mounted to the fuel pump. The fill limiting vent valve can not be repaired and if necessary a new-one must be installed.
