Fuel delivery is accomplished through a mechanical returnless fuel system (MRFS). The fuel pump supplies the fuel injectors with pressurized fuel through the fuel rail. Fuel pressure is controlled by the fuel pressure regulator which is mounted to the fuel pump support rods within the fuel tank. The fuel tubes route the fuel from the fuel pump to the fuel rail. The fuel filter cleans the fuel delivered from the fuel pump to the fuel rail. DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FUEL SYSTEM Special Tools Principles of Operation The fuel tank filler pipe assembly is used to refuel the vehicle. The fuel tank inlet check valve prevents spitback of fuel during and after refueling. The fuel tank stores the fuel. The fuel tank contains a Fuel Pump (FP) module. The FP module consists of a fuel level sender and a FP. The fuel level sender sends a signal to the fuel gauge informing the driver of how much fuel is in the fuel tank. The FP provides fuel to the fuel tubes which supply the fuel rail. During refueling, the fuel tank vents to the atmosphere through the vent and filler pipes, on vehicles without On-Board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR) systems. In vehicles equipped with ORVR the fuel tank and filler pipe are designed so that when the vehicle is being refueled, fuel vapors in the fuel tank travel to the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister, which absorbs the fuel vapors and vents the pressure from the fuel tank during refueling. Inspection & Verification Illustration Tool Name Tool Number Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) software with appropriate hardware, or equivalent scan tool NOTE: The following procedure diagnoses a slow to fill concern only. For all other concerns, refer to the Introduction - Gasoline Engines article.
