Fuel Distribution

Fuel tank holds 75 (19.8 US gal) liters (5-door models: 80 liters (21.1 Us gal)). The filler pipe is routed outside the passenger and cargo compartments, and has a check valve to prevent spillage when refuelling.

The fuel filter is located to the left of the transmission tunnel.

Located in the engine compartment, the fuel rail is combined with the pressure regulator, which normally exerts a pressure exceeding the pressure in the inlet pipe by 300 kPa (42.7 psi)

The EVAP canister is mounted by the left wheel well. A vent valve upstream of the filter and a suction connection on the fuel rail are provided to prevent spillage, when replacing the filter for example.

Fuel is distributed by a fuel pump located in the fuel tank.

The fuel pump and level sensor are separate units. The level sensor is tubular and its resistance increases by 5 ohms per liter (US gal).
