Fuel Pump (FP) Assembly And Reservoir
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2016 Lincoln Navigator, 2016 Lincoln MKZ, 2016 Lincoln MKX, 2016 Lincoln MKT, and 2016 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The FP assembly is mounted inside the fuel tank in a reservoir. The pump has a discharge check valve that maintains the system pressure after the ignition has been turned OFF to minimize starting concerns. The reservoir prevents fuel flow interruptions during extreme vehicle maneuvers with low tank fill levels.
