PRESSURE RELEASE PROCEDURE IN THIS
GROUP.
Inspect all hose connections such as clamps, cou-
plings and fittings to make sure they are secure and
leaks are not present. The component should be re-
placed immediately if there is any evidence of degra-
dation that could result in failure.
Never attempt to repair a plastic fuel line/tube. Re-
place as necessary.
Avoid contact of any fuel tubes/hoses with other ve-
hicle components that could cause abrasions or scuff-
ing. Be sure that the plastic fuel lines/tubes are
properly routed to prevent pinching and to avoid heat
sources.
The lines/tubes/hoses used on fuel injected vehicles
are of a special construction. This is due to the
higher fuel pressures and the possibility of contami-
nated fuel in this system. If it is necessary to replace
these lines/tubes/hoses, only those marked EFM/EFI
may be used.
The hose clamps used to secure rubber hoses on
fuel injected vehicles are of a special rolled edge con-
struction. This construction is used to prevent the
edge of the clamp from cutting into the hose. Only
these rolled edge type clamps may be used in this
system. All other types of clamps may cut into the
hoses and cause high-pressure fuel leaks.
Use new original equipment type hose clamps.
Tighten hose clamps to 1 Nzm (15 in. lbs.) torque.
QUICK-CONNECT FITTINGS
Also refer to the previous Fuel Tubes/Lines/Hoses
and Clamps section.
Different types of quick-connect fittings are used to
attach various fuel system components. These are: a
single-tab type, a two-tab type or a plastic retainer
ring type.
SINGLE-TAB TYPE

GENERAL INFORMATION
All XJ and YJ models pass a full 360 degree roll-
over test without fuel leakage. To accomplish this,
fuel and vapor flow controls are required for all fuel
tank connections.
All models are equipped with a pressure relief/roll-
over valve mounted in the top of the fuel tank. The
return line from the fuel pump to the fuel tank con-
tains a one-way check valve.
An evaporative control system prevents raw fuel
vapor from escaping into the atmosphere. Fuel va-
pors from the fuel tank are collected in the EVAP
canister. When the engine is operating, the vapors
are drawn into the intake manifold to be used in
combustion. Refer to Group 25, Emission Control
System for more information.
Inspect all hose/tube connections for completeness.
Be sure that leaks are not present. Replace any hose
that is cracked, scuffed, swelled, has rubbed against
other vehicle components or shows any other sign of
wear that could lead to failure. If it is necessary to
replace a hose, only hose marked EFM/EFI may be
used.
When installing hoses, be sure that they are routed
away from contact with other vehicle components.
The hose clamps used on fuel injected vehicles are
of a special rolled edge construction to prevent the
edge of the clamp from cutting into the hose. Only
these rolled edge type clamps may be used on this
system. Other types of clamps may cut into the hoses
and cause high-pressure fuel leaks.
FUEL TANK CAPACITIES
Refer to the Specifications section at the end of this
group.
NO-LEAD FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE
All vehicles are designed to operate using Unleaded
fuels. The diameter of the opening in the fuel tank
filler neck is sized to only accept unleaded fuel noz-
zles. Gasoline station pumps for unleaded and leaded
fuels have different size nozzles. Leaded fuel nozzles
are larger in diameter than unleaded nozzles. The
fuel tank filler neck opening is also equipped with adeflector, which the smaller unleaded nozzle pushes
back upon entering the filler neck. The deflector will
prevent the larger diameter leaded fuel nozzles from
entering the filler neck and will deflect fuel away
from the filler neck. This happens if filling of the
tank with leaded fuel is attempted.
A label is attached to the instrument panel under
the fuel gauge that reads UNLEADED FUEL ONLY
as a reminder to the driver. A similar label is located
near the fuel tank filler.
FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE CAP
The loss of any fuel or vapor out of the filler neck
is prevented by the use of a safety filler cap. This
will release only under pressure of 10.9 to 13.45 kPa
(1.58 to 1.95 psi). The vacuum release is between .97
and 2.0 kPa (.14 and .29 psi). This cap must be re-
placed by a similar unit if replacement is necessary.
CAUTION: Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap prior
to removing or repairing fuel lines to relieve fuel
tank pressure.
HEAT SHIELDS
The sheet metal heat shields may have to be re-
moved when servicing the fuel tank, fuel lines or va-
por vent line. The heat shields must be installed to
protect the lines and tank from the heat of the ex-
haust system. Refer to Group 11, Exhaust System
and Intake Manifold for proper installation.
FUEL TANK
WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER CON-
STANT FUEL PRESSURE (EVEN WITH THE ENGINE
OFF) OF APPROXIMATELY 131-269 KPA (19-39 PSI).
THIS PRESSURE MUST BE RELEASED BEFORE
SERVICING FUEL TANK.

FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT
The fuel gauge sending unit is attached to the fuel
pump module. Refer to Fuel Pump Module in the
Fuel Delivery System section of this group.
FUEL TANK PRESSURE RELIEF/ROLLOVER VALVE
The fuel tank is equipped with a pressure relief/
rollover valve (Fig. 8). The dual function valve will
relieve fuel tank pressure and prevent fuel flow
through the fuel tank vent tubes in the event of ac-
cidental vehicle rollover.
The valve consists of a plunger, spring and orifice/
guide plate (Fig. 9). The valve is normally open al-
lowing fuel vapor to vent to the EVAP canister. Here
it is stored until it can be consumed by the engine
(under controlled conditions). The plunger seats inthe guide plate at the orifice preventing liquid fuel
from reaching the EVAP canister. This is done if bot-
tom of plunger is contacted by fuel sloshing in tank
when vehicle is cornering.
In the event of accidental vehicle rollover, the valve
is inverted. In this position the plunger is forced
against the guide plate and raw fuel is prevented
from flowing through the valve orifice into the fuel
tank vent tube.
REMOVAL
WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CON-
STANT PRESSURE (EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF).
BEFORE SERVICING THE PRESSURE RELIEF/
ROLLOVER VALVE, THE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
MUST BE RELEASED. REFER TO THE FUEL PRES-
SURE RELEASE PROCEDURE IN THIS GROUP.
