Fuel Tank and Lines - Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Overview
The fuel system consists of:
- a Closed Loop Pressure Control System (CLPCS).
- a standard fuel tank.
- fuel, vapor and brake tubes in an integrated bundle assembly attached to the underside of the vehicle by retaining clips.
- a Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor (part of the fuel vapor tube assembly).
- has a serviceable externally mounted fuel filter.
- a Fuel Pump (FP) module that supplies fuel under pressure to the high pressure Fuel Pump (FP).
- a serviceable fuel level sender mounted on the Fuel Pump (FP) module.
- an Easy Fuel™ fuel tank filler pipe assembly, which cannot be modified in any way and is serviced only by the installation of a new fuel tank filler pipe assembly.
- a supplemental refueling adapter located under the luggage compartment floor covering.
FP Shut-off Feature
The event notification feature provides other vehicle subsystems with information pertaining to restraint system deployment or fuel cutoff status. When an impact occurs which exceeds a pre-determined threshold, the RCM sends a signal on a dedicated circuit to the BCM. The BCM sends a signal on a second hardwired circuit to the PCM, which initiates fuel cutoff and disables the fuel system.
After the fuel system is disabled, the vehicle can be re-started after carrying out the following steps:
- Turn the ignition ON and wait 10 seconds.
- Turn the ignition OFF.
- Turn the ignition ON.
- Turn the ignition OFF.
- Turn the ignition ON.
