REPAIR FUEL TANK
Service repair no - 19.55.01
WARNING: Ensure that fuel handling
precautions given in Section 01 -
introduction are strictly adhered to when
carrying out following instructions.
CAUTION: Before disconnecting any part
of fuel system, it is imperative that all dust,
dirt and debris is removed from around
components to prevent ingress of foreign matter
into fuel system.
Remove
1.Depressurise fuel system. Disconnect battery
negative lead.
2.Syphon fuel tank into a suitable container that
can be sealed afterwards.
ENSURE TANK IS DRAINED COMPLETELY.
(refer to Warning concerning fuel vapour and
spillage at start of procedure).
3.Remove carpet loadspace floor and tailgate.
4.Fold back sound insulation to reveal access
panel.
5.Remove access panel.
6.Disconnect electrical multi-plug.
7.Disconnect two fuel line unions from fuel pump.
8.Working underneath vehicle mark location of
anti-roll [sway] bar straps.
9.Remove rear anti-roll [sway] bar straps, and
allow bar to swing down clear of tank.
10.Remove tank filler and vent hoses at fuel tank.
11.Remove nut and bolt securing right hand side
fuel tank strap.
12.Disconnect evaporative control pipe at green
end of 'speedfit' connector.
NOTE: To disconnect 'speedfit' connector,
insert forked end of LRT-19-002 into slots
of connector see illustration. Press down
on collet and simultaneously pull pipe from
connector.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION REV: 09/95 Fuel pressure regulator
The fuel pressure regulator is located at the rear of
the engine in the fuel rail. It consists of a fuel inlet,
outlet, vacuum port and internal diaphragm.
When the engine is under high manifold depression,
the applied vacuum sucks the diaphragm of its seat,
allowing fuel to return to the tank, resulting in a lower
fuel pressure. This is necessary because the high
depression will try to suck the fuel from the injector,
resulting in overfuelling if the pressure remained
constant. Failure will result in a rich mixture at idle but
normal at full load, or a rich mixture resulting in engine
flooding, or a weak mixture. Although the fault will not
illuminate the MIL, faults caused by the failure may be
indicated.Relay module
The engine management system employs a relay
module, which houses the main relay and the fuel
pump relay.
Main relay
The main relay supplies the power feed to the ECM
with a tap off to feed the fuel injectors (8 amps) and
air flow sensor (4 amps). This relay is controlled by
the engine management ECM. This enables the ECM
to remain powered up after ignition is switched off.
During this 'ECM power down routine' the ECM
records all temperature readings and powers the
stepper motor to the fully open position. Failure of this
relay will result in the engine management ECM not
being switched on resulting in engine not starting due
to absence of fuel and ignition.
Fuel pump relay
The fuel pump relay is fed from the ignition relay and
controlled by the engine management ECM. The relay
is activated in ignition key position 2 to prime the fuel
system for a period of time controlled by the ECM.
Failure of this relay will result in no fuel pressure.
Inertia switch
The inertia switch isolates the power supply to the fuel
pump in the event of sudden deceleration. The inertia
switch is located in the engine compartment. It is reset
by depressing the central plunger at the top of the
switch.

Fuel Tank Assembly
The fuel tank consists of a moulded High Density
Polyethylene (HDPE) fuel cell into which is fitted an
electric fuel pump and four roll-over valves. The pump
is a self priming ñwet" type where the motor is
immersed in fuel. The pump assembly is sealed to the
tank with a rubber seal and secured in place using a
coated steel locking ring. The pump also incorporates
a fuel tank pressure sensor in the top flange.
NOTE: If the pump is removed, a new seal
must always be fitted.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ADD: 09/95 Fuel Filler Neck Assembly
The filler neck consists of a stainless steel upper
section and a convolute nylon lower section. The
nylon lower is joined at one end to the tank and at the
other to the stainless upper section where both joints
utilise a short piece of rubber hose. The joint at the
fuel tank is secured using a spring assisted hose clip
which has a shear off cap.
NOTE: The spring assisted clip must never
be re-used, if removed a new clip of the
same type must be fitted.
Tank vent connections are achieved using serviceable
plastic quickfit connectors. The filler cap is tethered to
the body of the vehicle. Only a cap of this type must
be used as a replacement.Fuel Lines
The fuel lines consist of two coated steel lines fitted
along the length of the chassis from the fuel pump at
the rear of the vehicle to the connections at the fuel
rail on the engine, via a fuel filter on the feed line.
Connections at the pump are metal quickfits, while
those at the filter and fuel rail are threaded unions
utilising "O" rings for effective sealing.
NOTE: When the fuel filter is serviced or
the fuel rail joints are disconnected, new
"O" rings must always be fitted.
Connections at the fuel rail are made using "Saginaw"
screw thread type connectors with "O" rings as the
sealing medium. The fuel lines in the engine
compartment are made from a braided nylon material.
NOTE: This material must not be clamped
or kinked as this impairs its performance.

REPAIR FUEL SYSTEM - DEPRESSURISE
WARNING: Fuel pressure of up to 2.5 bar
will be present in the system, even if the
engine has not been run for some time.
Always depressurise the system before
disconnecting any components in the fuel feed
line (between fuel pump and pressure regulator).
The spilling of fuel is unavoidable during this
operation. Ensure that all necessary precautions
are taken to prevent fire and explosion.
NOTE: Fuel pressure can be relieved at
fuel rail feed union or fuel filter unions.
1.Position cloth around relevant union to protect
against fuel spray.
2.Carefully slacken union.
3.Tighten union to correct torque once pressure
has relieved.
