GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTIONÐ2.5L DIESEL
Certain components of the fuel system on the 2.5L
diesel engine are controlled by the Bosch Engine con-
troller which is a Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
Refer to Powertrain Control Module in the Fuel
Injection SystemÐ2.5L Diesel Engine section of this
group for a list of items controlled by the PCM. The
Body Control Module (BCM) is mounted to a bracket
located inside the vehicle under the dashpanel to the
left of the steering column (Fig. 1). The PCM is
mounted at the base of the center console in front of
the Air Bag Module. (Fig. 2).
TheFuel Systemconsists of: the fuel tank, fuel
injection pump (engine mounted), fuel filter/water
separator, fuel tank module, electrical fuel gauge
sending unit, glow plugs, glow plug relay, PCM, and
all the electrical components that control the fuel
system. It also consists of fuel tubes/lines/hoses and
fittings, vacuum hoses, and fuel injector(s).
AFuel Return System.A separate fuel return
system is used. This will route excess fuel: from the
fuel injectors; through individual injector drain
tubes; through the fuel injection pump overflow
valve; and back to the fuel tank through a separate
fuel line.TheFuel Tank Assemblyconsists of: the fuel
tank, two pressure relief/rollover valves, fuel filler
tube, fuel tank module containing a fuel gauge send-
ing unit, and a pressure-vacuum filler cap.

FUEL REQUIREMENTSÐ2.0L ENGINE
Your vehicle was designed to meet all emission reg-
ulations and provide excellent fuel economy when
using high quality unleaded gasoline.
Use high quality unleaded gasoline with a mini-
mum research octane rating of 91.
The vehicle will operate on fuels ranging from
unleaded fuel having a minimum research octane of
91 to super unleaded fuel with a minimum research
octane of 98.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
This Fuel Delivery section will cover components
not controlled by the PCM. For components con-
trolled by the PCM, refer to the Fuel Injection Sys-
temÐ2.5L Diesel Engine section of this group.
The fuel heater relay, fuel heater and fuel gauge
are not operated by the PCM. These components are
controlled by the ignition (key) switch. All other fuel
system electrical components necessary to operate
the engine are controlled or regulated by the PCM.
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE WARNING
WARNING: HIGH±PRESSURE FUEL LINES DELIVER
DIESEL FUEL UNDER EXTREME PRESSURE FROM
THE INJECTION PUMP TO THE FUEL INJECTORS.
THIS MAY BE AS HIGH AS 45,000 KPA (6526 PSI).
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN INSPECTING FORHIGH±PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS. INSPECT FOR
HIGH±PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS WITH A SHEET OF
CARDBOARD (Fig. 1). HIGH FUEL INJECTION
PRESSURE CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY IF
CONTACT IS MADE WITH THE SKIN.
FUEL TANK
The fuel tank and tank mounting used with the
diesel powered engine is the same as used with gas-
oline powered models, although the fuel tank module
is different.
The fuel tank contains the fuel tank module and
two rollover valves. Two fuel lines are routed to the
fuel tank module. One line is used for fuel supply to
the fuel filter/water separator. The other is used to
return excess fuel back to the fuel tank.
The fuel tank module contains the fuel gauge elec-
trical sending unit.An electrical fuel pump is not
used with the diesel engine.
NS/GSFUEL SYSTEMÐ2.5L DIESEL ENGINE/2.0L GAS ENGINE 14 - 3
FUEL TANK MODULE
An electric fuel pump is not attached to the fuel
tank module for diesel powered engines. Fuel is sup-
plied by the fuel injection pump.
The fuel tank module is installed in the top of the
fuel tank (Fig. 2). The fuel tank module contains the
following components:
²Fuel reservoir
²A separate in-tank fuel filter
²Electric fuel gauge sending unit
²Fuel supply line connection
²Fuel return line connection
FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT
The fuel gauge sending unit is attached to the side
of the fuel pump module. The sending unit consists of
a float, an arm, and a variable resistor (track). The
track is used to send an electrical signal used for fuel
gauge operation.
As the fuel level increases, the float and arm move
up. This decreases the sending unit resistance, caus-
ing the fuel gauge on the instrument panel to read
full. As the fuel level decreases, the float and arm
move down. This increases the sending unit resis-
tance, causing the fuel gauge on the instrument
panel to read empty.
FUEL FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR
The fuel filter/water separator assembly is located
in the engine compartment near the strut tower (Fig.
3).
The combination fuel filter/water separator pro-
tects the fuel injection pump by helping to remove
water and contaminants from the fuel. Moisture col-
lects at the bottom of the filter/separator in a plastic
bowl.
The fuel filter/water separator assembly contains
the fuel filter, fuel heater element, and fuel drain
valve.
For information on the fuel heater, refer to Fuel
Heater in this group.
Refer to the maintenance schedules in Group 0 in
this manual for the recommended fuel filter replace-
ment intervals.
