Fuel System - Overview: Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

NOTE: Repairs of the fuel system are to be achieved only by replacement of the failed component(s). Repair of a fuel system component should not be attempted.

NOTE: If directed during assembly of fuel system components, lubricate any seal(s) only with specified material. Failure to follow this instruction may result in seal failure and fuel leakage.

The fuel system:

is a variable speed Closed Loop Pressure Control (CLPC) Fuel System with Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection (GTDI).
uses a single container (L-shaped) fuel tank.
has a fuel level sensor assembly.
has a Fuel Pump that operates on 5.5 or 13 volts depending on load, that supplies fuel under pressure to the high pressure Fuel Pump.
has a lifetime fuel filter (serviced as part of the Fuel Pump).
has an Easy Fuel™ (capless) 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.
has a supplemental refueling adapter located in the luggage compartment.
has a high pressure Fuel Pump that supplies high pressure, low volume fuel pressure to the fuel rails.
has a FPDM located on the driver's side lower "C" pillar area.
has fuel tubes (liquid and vapor) along with brake tubes mounted on the underside of the vehicle in a bundle.
has a high pressure fuel tube from the high pressure Fuel Pump to the fuel rails.
uses separately controlled fuel injectors for each cylinder. The fuel injectors are mounted directly into the head.
fuel injectors are supplied with pressurized fuel from the high pressure Fuel Pump to the fuel rail.
has a serviceable fuel level sender mounted on the Fuel Pump Module.
Has a Fuel Pressure Sensor integrated on Liquid fuel line (Fuel bundle).
Has an in-line Fuel Tank Pressure Transducer.
External fuel filter (if equipped).
