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

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.

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.

The fuel system:

Fuel, vapor and brake tubes in an integrated bundle assembly.
uses a single container (L-shaped) fuel tank.
Quick connect fuel and vapor tube couplings.
A fuel tank filler pipe assembly, which cannot be modified in any way, that also contains a restrictor plate to permit only unleaded fuel to be pumped into the tank.
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.
A Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM).
A Closed Loop Pressure Control (CLPC) system.
A Fuel Pump (FP) module containing:
- The electric FP module which provides pressurized fuel to the high pressure Fuel Pump (FP).
- The fuel level sensor.
- A check valve which maintains system pressure after the pump is shut off.
- A pressure relief for overpressure protection in the event of restricted fluid flow.
- A lifetime fuel filter providing filtration to protect the fuel injectors from foreign material.

Fuel Pump Shut-off Feature
