Fuel tank
The fuel tank is a plastic structure. It is secured to the vehicle by means of two steel bands (clamps). The clamps on the rear side of the fuel tank are secured to the underside of the vehicle chassis, and on the front side of the fuel tank they are secured with bolts.
The fuel tank ventilation system is equipped with two shut-off valves (locked when the vehicle rolls over) that divert fuel vapors through a backpressure valve and then into the charcoal canister of the fuel vapor control system, which absorbs (absorbs) the fuel vapors. The shut-off valve is installed at the top of the fuel tank and prevents fuel from leaking out of the fuel tank in the event of a rollover.
Fuel filter
The fuel filter has a traditional design and is a paper filter element enclosed in a steel housing. The fuel filter is located on a bracket mounted on the front edge of the fuel tank.
Fuel tank filler neck
The fuel filler neck is a steel structure with a rubber connection element to the tank. The neck is attached to the vehicle with one upper bolt and one lower bolt. The fuel filler neck is equipped with a 1/8 turn cap that seals the system.
Fuel pump
The fuel pump is a turbine type pump that is located in the fuel tank. The fuel pump has a built-in fuel sensor and is fixed in the fuel tank with a retaining ring.
Adaptive Fuel Module - Vehicles with Adaptive Fuel System
The adaptive fuel module is located on the right side, behind the floor covering under the rear seat cushion.
Inertial fuel cut-off switch
The inertia fuel cut-off switch interrupts electrical power to the fuel pump in the event of a crash. It is located in the right footwell behind the front door trim panel.
Inspection and verification
1. Check the validity of the customer's complaint by using the system.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.
