FUEL SYSTEM


  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, charcoal canister, fuel sender gauge, 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 multiple layer 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 assembly. When dismantling (scrapping) the vehicle, drain fuel by drilling a hole at the drain mark.

    2. Fuel Suction with Pump and Gauge Tube Assembly


      1. A compact fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator assembly, fuel sender gauge assembly and charcoal canister are integrated into the fuel suction with pump and gauge tube 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 injector to intake valves, which helps to prevent the fuel from adhering to the intake port walls and reduces exhaust emissions.
