FUEL SYSTEM DETAILS


  1. FUNCTION


    1. Fuel Returnless System


      1. This system is used to reduce evaporative emissions. As shown below, by integrating the fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator assembly, fuel sender gauge assembly, and fuel pump, it is possible to discontinue the return of fuel from the engine area, thus preventing temperature rise inside the fuel tank assembly. This reduces the generation of evaporative emissions in the fuel tank assembly.

  2. CONSTRUCTION


    1. Fuel Tank Assembly


      1. A multiplex layered plastic fuel tank assembly is used. This fuel tank assembly consists of 6 layers of 4 types of materials.

      2. A fuel drain mark has been provided at the lowest position of the fuel tank. When dismantling (scrapping) the vehicle, drain fuel by drilling a hole at the drain mark.

    2. Fuel Suction Tube with Pump and Gauge Assembly


      1. A compact fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator assembly, charcoal canister and fuel sender gauge assembly are integrated into the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly.

    3. Fuel Delivery Pipe Sub-assembly


      1. A pressed steel fuel delivery pipe sub-assembly is used.

    4. Fuel Injector Assembly


      1. The fuel injector assembly is shaped to form a long nozzle. This shortens the distance from the fuel injector assembly to intake valve, which helps prevent the fuel from adhering to the intake port walls and reduces exhaust emissions.
