GENERAL INFORMATION
Beginning this model year, Chrysler began produc-
ing AA-Body vehicles designed to operate on a mix-
ture of gasoline and methanol. These automobiles are
referred to as Flexible Fuel vehicles. Flexible fuel vehicles can operate on a mixture of
up to 85 percent methanol, 15 percent unleaded gas-
oline. These vehicles also operate on mixtures con-
taining a lower percentage of methanol or just pure
unleaded gasoline. In many cases, the procedures for servicing flexible
fuel components is identical to gasoline only compo-
nents. Refer to the particular Service Procedure in
this section. If the service procedure for flexible fuel
component differs from a gasoline only component,
the title of each service procedure identifies the ap-
plication.
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS FOR FLEXIBLE FUEL
VEHICLES
Methanol is more toxic than gasoline. Always re-
lease fuel system pressure before servicing fuel sys-
tem components and wear methanol resistant gloves
and eye protection. Avoid breathing methanol vapors or ingesting
methanol. Headaches, dizziness and even uncon-
sciousness could result from breathing these vapors.
Serious injury, blindness and even death could result
from ingesting methanol. Methanol vapors are extremely flammable and can
travel along the ground. Service vehicles in well ven-
tilated areas and avoid ignition sources. Never
smoke while servicing the vehicle. Do not allow methanol to contact skin. Prolonged
contact with methanol can cause dry skin or an al-
lergic skin reaction. Also, prolonged contact could re-
sult in absorption through the skin.
IDENTIFYING FLEXIBLE FUEL COMPONENTS
Flexible Fuel vehicles have unique methanol com-
patible fuel system components. Chrysler identifies
methanol compatible components that could be phys-
ically interchanged with gasoline only parts by color-
ing them green or applying a green label or tag to
them. Even though they may appear physically iden-
tical, components for gasoline only vehicles must not
be used on flexible fuel vehicles.
FLEXIBLE FUEL COMPONENTS
Flexible fuel AA-body vehicles uses many unique
fuel system components. The unique parts are green
in appearance or have a green tag or label attached
to them. While components used on gasoline only ve-
hicles may look similar or identical, they cannot be
used on flexible fuel vehicles. When servicing a com-
ponent, always use an original equipment or equiva-
lent flexible fuel replacement. The fuel system of flexible fuel AA-body vehicles
have the following unique components.
² Fuel pump module
² Fuel level sensor
² Fuel gauge (gauge cluster).
² Fuel tank
² Fuel pressure regulator (including O-rings)
² Fuel rail
² Fuel injectors (including O-rings)
² Fuel tubes
² Fuel filter
² EVAP canister
² Fuel filler cap
² Fuel filler tube
² Pressure relief/Rollover valve
² All fuel system and emission system hoses and
tubes
Ä FUEL SYSTEMS 14 - 3

INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER IDENTIFICATIONÐFLEXIBLE FUEL AA-BODY
Flexible fuel A-Body vehicles use a unique gauge
cluster. To identify the cluster, remove it from the
instrument panel and check the number on the tag
on the top. If the part number matches the number
in the parts book for flexible fuel A-bodies, the vehi-
cle was built with the correct cluster. Refer to Group
8E, Instrument Panel and Gauges, for cluster re-
moval and installation.
METHANOL CONCENTRATION SENSORÐFLEXIBLE
FUEL AA-BODY
The methanol concentration sensor contains a mi-
croprocessor that determines the percentage of gaso-
line and methanol in the fuel system. From the
methanol concentration sensor input, the powertrain
control module (PCM) determines the amount of
methanol in the fuel. The vehicle can operate on a
mixtures up to 85 percent methanol, 15 percent gas-
oline. The methanol concentration sensor output voltages
varies with the percent of methanol in the fuel sys-
tem. The sensor output voltage (input for PCM)
ranges from 0.5 volts for pure gasoline to 4.75 volts
for 85 percent methanol. For two seconds at key ON
when the operator starts the vehicle, the sensor cal-
ibrates the PCM. During the calibration period the
sensor sends 4.45 volts to the PCM as a correction
factor. The methanol concentration sensor has a built-in
shutdown capability. If the sensor shuts down, it de-
faults to the previous learned value (output voltage
based on methanol percentage of fuel). The methanol concentration sensor attaches to a
bracket at the rear of the fuel tank, next to the fuel
filler tube (Fig. 1).

connecting the other end of the jumper wire to an in-
jector terminal in the harness connector. Repeat pro-
cedure for 2 to 3 injectors.
FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY
The fuel pump assembly consists of the fuel pump
and the reservoir body. The reservoir body takes the place of an internal
fuel tank reservoir. The reservoir maintains fuel at
the pump inlet during all driving conditions, espe-
cially when the fuel level is low. The system uses a positive displacement, gerotor
gear, immersible pump with a permanent magnet
electric motor (Fig. 5). The pump draws fuel through
a strainer and pushes it through the electric motor to
the outlet. The pump contains three check valves.
One valve relieves internal fuel pump pressure and
regulates maximum pump output. Another valve, in-
side the pump assembly in the fuel return circuit,
prevents fuel tank leakage if the line is damaged
during an accident. The third valve, in the pump out-
let, maintains pump pressure during engine off con-
ditions. The fuel pump relay provides voltage to the
fuel pump. All pumps have a maximum stall pres-
sure output of approximately 930 kPa (135 psi). All front wheel drive car fuel systems, except
Turbo III and flexible fuel AA-body vehicles use the
same fuel pump. Turbo III and flexible fuel AA-Body
vehicles each use different fuel pumps although they
look similar to pumps used in other vehicles. Release fuel system pressure before servicing the
fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel filter, or parts of
the fuel rail. Follow the Fuel System Pressure Re-
lease procedure to relieve fuel system pressure.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The fuel tanks of Chrysler Corporation built vehi-
cles are equipped with fuel and vapor controls that
allow the vehicle to pass a full 360É rollover. The fuel delivery system used on front wheel drive
vehicles contains a fuel tank pressure relief/rollover
valve. The valve mounts on the top of the fuel tank.
The valve functions as a pressure relief valve while
the vehicle is upright. The valve also contains a
check valve that prevents fuel from escaping the fuel
tank if the vehicle turns over. The fuel filler cap also acts as a pressure/vacuum
valve. When pressure inside the fuel tank gets too
high or too low, the fuel filler cap opens to relieve
the difference in air pressure. An evaporation control system restricts fuel evapo-
ration into the atmosphere and reduces unburned hy-
drocarbons. Vapors from the fuel tank are collected
in a charcoal filled canister. The vapors are held in
the canister until the engine is operating. When the
engine operates, vapors are drawn through the in-
take manifold into the combustion chambers.

ing AA-Body vehicles designed to operate on a mix-
ture of gasoline and methanol. These automobiles are

PRESSURE VACUUM FUEL FILLER TUBE CAP
WARNING: REMOVE FUEL FILLER TUBE CAP TO
RELIEVE TANK PRESSURE BEFORE REMOVING
OR REPAIRING FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
The loss of any fuel or vapor out of the filler tube
neck is prevented by the use of a safety filler cap.
The cap releases only under significant pressure 10.9
to 13.45 kPa (1.58 to 1.95 psi). The vacuum release
for all gas caps is between .97 and 2.0 kPa (.14 and
.29 psi). The cap must be replaced by a similar unit
in order for the system to remain effective.
