WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 RAM 1500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The fuel pump module assembly is located on the top of the fuel tank. The fuel tank module assembly contains the following components:
- An electric fuel transfer (lift) pump
- A fuel reservoir
- A separate in-tank fuel filter
- A fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor)
- A lock ring to retain pump module to tank
- A soft gasket between tank flange and module
- Fuel line return connection
The electric fuel pump is located inside of the fuel pump module. A 12 volt, permanent magnet, electric motor powers the fuel pump. The electric fuel pump is not a separate, serviceable component.
The fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor) is attached to the fuel pump module. The sending unit consists of a float, an arm, and a variable resistor track (card). The sensor is non-servicable. If replacement is necessary, the fuel pump module assembly must be replaced.
