Fuel Pump Module: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The fuel pump module on all models/all engines is installed in the top of the fuel tank ( Fig 1 ) or ( Fig 2 ). The fuel pump module contains the following components:
- A combination fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator
- Electric fuel pump
- Fuel pump reservoir
- A separate in-tank fuel filter (at bottom of module)
- Fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor)
- Fuel supply line connection at filter/regulator
- A threaded locknut to retain pump module to fuel tank
- A rubber gasket between tank flange and pump module
The fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor), and pickup filter (at bottom of module) may be serviced separately. If the electrical fuel pump requires service the entire fuel pump module must be replaced.
