Modular Fuel Pump And Sender Assembly
The modular fuel pump and sender assembly maintains an optimum fuel level in the reservoir. This ensures a continuous
fuel flow under all fuel level conditions and vehicle attitudes. The modular fuel pump and sender assembly also provides
an accurate means of measuring the fuel level within the fuel tank.
Fuel Pump
Figure 8A1 – 3 details fuel flow through the fuel pump. The fuel pump is incorporated into the design of the modular fuel
sender assembly inside the fuel tank and is an electric, high pressure, single turbine design. The fuel pump provides fuel
to the fuel rail assembly at a specified flow and pressure.
The fuel pump delivers a constant flow of fuel to the engine, even during low fuel conditions or aggressive vehicle
manoeuvres. The PCM controls the electric fuel pump operation through the fuel pump relay.

Fuel Flow Through The Modular Fuel Pump And Sender Assembly
This section provides a general description of fuel flow through the modular fuel pump and sender assembly.
Fuel is pumped from the fuel tank to the engine via the
modular fuel pump and sender assembly.
Fuel in the reservoir (1) is drawn through the fuel strainer (2)
and into the single turbine fuel pump (3) which is driven by a
constant-speed motor. Fuel is then forced through the motor
and out, under pressure, into the fuel filter canister and
through the fuel filter (4). There are two fuel filter exit ports,
one runs into a flexible pipe which connects to the engine fuel
feed line (5) within the fuel tank, and the other provides the
connection port to which the fuel pressure regulator holder
and port assembly (6) is connected.
When the engine is operating, fuel is continuously forced to
flow through the ported pressure regulator holder assembly
which has an extended moulding to enable mounting and
provide the fuel exit port. The fuel pressure regulator (7) is
attached to one side of the holder. The exit port directs fuel
into the reservoir jet pump (8), which is moulded integral to
the reservoir assembly. This pump forces extra fuel into the
reservoir through a one way flapper valve (9) connected at
the base of the reservoir.
Figure 8A1 – 4
Fuel Limiter Vent Valve
A fuel limiter vent valve is incorporated into the modular fuel pump and sender cover assembly. This valve controls the
fuel tank fill level by closing the primary vent from the fuel tank and prevents fuel from exiting the fuel tank via the EVAP
vapor pipe to the canister. The valve also provides fuel spillage protection in the event of a vehicle rollover by closing the
vapor path from the fuel tank to the EVAP canister.
Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor
A fuel tank pressure sensor is mounted to the cover of the modular fuel tank and sender assembly. When the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) commands a vacuum into the fuel system to check for leaks, a potential voltage is induced by the
sensor and this voltage will fluctuate according to the pressure change in the fuel tank. The change in voltage is
monitored by the PCM through a circuit carried through the body wiring harness and fuel tank wiring harness.
Pressure Regulator
The fuel pressure regulator is a diaphragm-operated relief
valve located in the modular fuel pump and sender assembly.
Its principal function is to maintain a controlled pressure at
the injectors at all times by regulating fuel flow into the fuel
feed line.
Fuel flows from the fuel pump, into the fuel filter and is
allowed to exit the filter into the fuel feed line or the fuel
pressure regulator entry port. From here, fuel flows under
pressure into the pressure regulator at location A. When fuel
pressure builds in the fuel feed line, the diaphragm and
valve (1) inside the fuel pressure regulator is progressively
pushed out, allowing fuel to exit through the regulator port at
location B. The valve is otherwise held closed by mechanical
spring pressure applied from side C. Fuel exiting the
regulator is directed into the reservoir jet pump to provide
continuous fuel circulation.
Figure 8A1 – 5
Fuel and Exhaust Systems Page G-11
Page G-11
Fuel Strainer
The fuel strainer connects onto the fuel pump inlet port on the end cap of the fuel pump assembly and consists of a finely
woven plastic filter. A metal compression ring is fitted around the plastic strainer to fuel pump feed port and the complete
fuel strainer assembly is fastened to the fuel pump end cap with a metal speed clip fastener.
The strainers function is to filter fuel contaminants from within the fuel reservoir and also act to wick the fuel. The fuel
strainer is serviced as part of the complete fuel pump and strainer assembly. Fuel stoppage at the strainer indicates an
abnormal amount of sediment in the fuel tank which should be removed before reinstallation of the fuel tank into the
vehicle, refer to 3.4 Fuel Tank Assembly.
Fuel Filter Assembly
The fuel filter assembly is contained within the modular fuel pump and sender assembly reservoir and forms the
containment housing for the fuel pump. The filter comprises a paper element which traps particles in the fuel that may
damage the fuel injection system. The fuel filter is made to withstand maximum fuel system pressure, changes in
temperature and exposure to fuel additives.
Fuel Level Sender Assembly
Refer to Figure 8A1 – 6 for details of the fuel level sender assembly. The fuel level sender assembly comprises of a fuel
level float and wire arm assembly (1), a ceramic variable resistor card assembly (2), and a detachable nylon wiper (3).
The ceramic resistor card is attached to a plastic card holder (4) which attaches to the reservoir (6). A metal contact fork
with brushes is connected to the detachable nylon wiper. This assembly provides a variable circuit resistance to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) depending on wiper contact position. Two circuit wires (5) run from the resistor card
and extend up to connect with the modular fuel pump to cover assembly wiring connector on the underside of the
modular fuel pump and sender assembly cover. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) averages out any slosh variation
in the fuel tank and sends this signal to the fuel level indicator on the instrument panel fuel gauge.

2.2 System Components
Refer to Figure 8A1 – 7 for general components of the fuel control systems. A 2.1L three port vapor canister is mounted
with a bracket onto the underneath the vehicle. The canister cannot be repaired and is serviced only as a complete
assembly. The canister is designed to store vapor from the fuel tank via the tank vent line and release it to the engine via
the canister purge line. A purge line service port is attached along the purge line within the engine bay. Various styles of
quick-connect fittings are used at most fuel line connections, including the modular fuel pump and sender assembly, fuel
vapor canister, fuel filter and fuel feed line, at both the fuel tank and engine ends.

the hose meets the fuel tank check valve (3) and
continues to the bottom of the fuel tank.
7. Use a hand or air operated pump device in order to
siphon as much fuel through the fuel fill pipe as possible.
Never siphon or store fuel into an open
container. Always use and approved fuel
storage container in order to reduce the
chance of fire, explosion or con t amin atio n.
Figure 8A1 – 10
NOTE
Never use excessive force when removing the
siphon hose from the fuel filler neck. If the fuel
siphon hose gets stuck upon removal, gently twist
and tug the hose back and forth until it releases.
NOTE
If fuel does not siphon from the fuel tank, the fuel
hose may have entered the fuel tank through a
roof facing opening of the check valve. If
necessary, repeat step 6 above but twist the hose
by 90 degrees as it is sliding down the filler neck.
This will enable the siphon hose to enter into the
fuel tank through a floor facing check valve
opening.
