Description an
d Operation
The fuel tank is mounted across the vehicle behind the passenger compartment bulkhead.
Fuel is drawn by the fuel pump from the tank and then supplied to the two fuel rails, via a filter.
Fuel injectors are installed in the fuel ra ils on each side of the intake manifold.
The amount of fuel injected into th e engine is controlled by the ECM.
A cross-over pipe connects the two fuel ra ils together at the front of the manifold.
A test valve in the cross-over pipe allo ws the fuel rail to be pressurized and de-pressurized during the servicing and
troubleshooting procedures.
A pressure regulator on the rear of the right fuel rail controls the pressure in the fuel rails.
A return line directs excess fuel from the pressure regulator back to the fuel tank.
