management.
The multiport fuel injection system is a returnless system with the fuel pressure maintained at a constant level by a
fuel pressure regulator. The regulator is located in the fuel pump housing and returns excess fuel directly from the
pump to the tank.
An electrically operated fuel pump is located in the top of the fuel tank and supplies fuel at pressure to two fuel rails
via a flexible hose. The hose is attached to the feed pipe on the fuel rail at the rear of the engine and the fuel pump
with sealed quick release couplings.
A moulded fuel tank is located at the rear underside of the vehicle between the chassis longitudinals. The tank
provides the attachment for the fuel pump and fuel gauge sender unit which is located inside the tank. The fuel system
is pressurised permanently with pressurised fuel vapour venting to an EVAP canister.

+ EMISSION CONTROL - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Emission Control Systems.
Fuel tank and breather
The fuel tank and breather system is a major part of the fuel delivery system. The fuel tank and breathers are located
at the rear of the vehicle between the chassis longitudinals.
Fuel tank
The moulded fuel tank is made from High Molecular Weight (HMW) High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). Continuous
layers of nylon additive are used during the moulding process. The nylon layers give an improved limit of fuel
permeation through the tank wall and are also resistant to alcohol based fuels used in the NAS market.
The tank is retained in position by a metal cradle which is secured to the chassis with two nut plates and bolts at the
rear and a stud plate and two nuts at the front. A strap above the tank is bolted to the chassis and restrains the tank
from moving upwards. The fuel tank has a useable capacity of approximately 95 litres (25 US Gallons).
An aperture in the top surface of the tank allows for the fitment of the fuel pump, regulator and fuel gauge sender unit
which is retained with a locking ring.
A reflective metallic covering is attached to the tank with two scrivets to shield the tank from heat generated by the
exhaust system.
The fuel filler is located in the right hand rear quarter panel, behind an access flap. The flap is opened electrically
using a switch on the fascia.
The filler is closed by a threaded plastic cap which screws into the filler neck. The cap has a ratchet mechanism to
prevent over tightening and seals against the filler neck to prevent the escape of fuel vapour. The filler cap has a valve
which relieves fuel pressure to atmosphere at approximately 0.12 to 0.13 bar (1.8 to 2.0 lbf.in
2) and opens in the
opposite direction at approximately 0.04 bar (0.7 lbf.in2) vacuum.
All markets except NAS: A moulded filler tube, made from HMW HDPE with no additional additives, connects the
filler to the tank via a flexible rubber hose. The filler tube is connected at its top end behind the filler flap.
NAS markets: A fabricated filler tube, made from stainless steel, connects the filler to the tank via a flexible rubber
hose. The filler tube is connected at it's top end behind the filler flap.
On all vehicles that use unleaded fuel, the filler neck is fitted with an inhibitor. The inhibitor is a tapered nozzle in the
mouth of the filler neck which will only allow the use of a standard unleaded fuel filler gun. A spring loaded flap valve
prevents the incorrect fuel from being trickle filled from an incorrect filler gun.

COOLING SYSTEM - V8
26-2-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
The cooling system used on the V8 engine is a pressure relief by-pass type system which allows coolant to circulate
around the cylinder block and the heater circuit when the thermostat is closed. With coolant not passing through the
radiator, this promotes faster heater warm-up which in turn improves passenger comfort.
A coolant pump is located in a housing at the front of the engine and is driven by a drive belt. The pump is connected
into the coolant passages cast in the cylinder block and pumps coolant from the radiator through the cylinder block.
A viscous fan is attached by means of a nut to the coolant pump pulley drive spindle. The fan draws air through the
radiator to assist in cooling when the vehicle is stationary. The fan rotational speed is controlled relative to the running
temperature of the engine by a thermostatic valve regulated by a bi-metallic coil.
The cooling system uses a 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water.
Thermostat housing
A plastic thermostat housing is located behind the radiator. The housing has three connections which locate the
radiator bottom hose, top hose and coolant pump feed hose. The housing contains a wax element and a spring loaded
by-pass flow valve.
Thermostat - Main valve
The thermostat is used to maintain the coolant at the optimum temperature for efficient combustion and to aid engine
warm-up. The thermostat is closed at temperatures below approximately 82°C (179°F). When the coolant
temperature reaches approximately 82°C the thermostat starts to open and is fully open at approximately 96°C
(204°F). In this condition the full flow of coolant is directed through the radiator.
The thermostat is exposed to 90% hot coolant from the engine on one side and 10% cold coolant returning from the
radiator bottom hose on the other side.
Hot coolant from the engine passes from the by-pass pipe through four sensing holes in the flow valve into a tube
surrounding 90% of the thermostat sensitive area. Cold coolant returning from the engine, cooled by the radiator,
conducts through 10% of the sensitive area.
In cold ambient temperatures, the engine temperature is raised by approximately 10°C (50°F) to compensate for the
heat loss of 10% exposure to the cold coolant returning from the bottom hose.
By-pass flow valve
The by-pass flow valve is held closed by a light spring. It operates to further aid heater warm-up. When the main valve
is closed and the engine speed is at idle, the coolant pump does not produce sufficient flow and pressure to open the
valve. In this condition the valve prevents coolant circulating through the by-pass circuit and forces the coolant through
the heater matrix only. This provides a higher flow of coolant through the heater matrix to improve passenger comfort
in cold conditions.
When the engine speed increases above idle the coolant pump produces a greater flow and pressure than the heater
circuit can take. The pressure acts on the flow valve and overcomes the valve spring pressure, opening the valve and
limiting the pressure in the heater circuit. The valve modulates to provide maximum coolant flow through the heater
matrix and yet allowing excess coolant to flow into the by-pass circuit to provide the engine's cooling needs at higher
engine rev/min.

COOLING SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 26-2-7
Inlet manifold - Cooling connections
Coolant leaves the cylinder block via an outlet pipe attached to the front of the air intake manifold. The pipe is
connected to the thermostat housing and the radiator by a branch hose off the radiator top hose.
Hot coolant from the engine is also directed from the inlet manifold via pipes and hoses into the heater matrix. Coolant
is circulated through the heater matrix at all times when the engine is running.
A further tapping from the inlet manifold supplies coolant to the throttle housing via a hose. The coolant circulates
through a plate attached to the bottom of the housing and is returned through a plastic bleed pipe to an expansion
tank. The hot coolant heats the air intake of the throttle housing preventing ice from forming.
An Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is fitted in the inlet manifold adjacent to the manifold outlet pipe. The
sensor monitors coolant temperature emerging from the engine and sends signals to the ECM for engine
management and temperature gauge operation.

management.
Expansion tank
The expansion tank is located in the engine compartment. The tank is made from moulded plastic and attached to
brackets on the right hand inner wing. A maximum coolant when cold level is moulded onto the tank.
Excess coolant created by heat expansion is returned to the expansion tank from the radiator bleed pipe at the top of
the radiator. An outlet pipe is connected into the pump feed hose and replaces the coolant displaced by heat
expansion into the system when the engine is cool.
The expansion tank is fitted with a sealed pressure cap. The cap contains a pressure relief valve which opens to allow
excessive pressure and coolant to vent through the overflow pipe. The relief valve opens at a pressure of 1.4 bar (20
lbf.in
2) and above.
Heater matrix
The heater matrix is fitted in the heater assembly inside the passenger compartment. Two pipes pass through the
bulkhead into the engine compartment and provide coolant flow to and from the matrix. The pipes from the bulkhead
are connected to the matrix, sealed with 'O' rings and clamped with circular rings.
The matrix is constructed from aluminium with two end tanks interconnected with tubes. Aluminium fins are located
between the tubes and conduct heat away from the hot coolant flowing through the tubes. Air from the heater
assembly is warmed as it passes through the matrix fins. The warm air is then distributed into the passenger
compartment as required.

+ HEATING AND VENTILATION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.When the engine is
running, coolant from the engine is constantly circulated through the heater matrix.
Radiator
The 45 row radiator is located at the front of the vehicle. The cross-flow type radiator is manufactured from aluminium
with moulded plastic end tanks interconnected with tubes. Aluminium fins are located between the tubes and conduct
heat from the hot coolant flowing through the tubes, reducing the cooling temperature as it flows through the radiator.
Air intake from the front of the vehicle when moving carries heat away from the fins. When the vehicle is stationary,
the viscous fan draws air through the radiator fins to prevent the engine from overheating.
Two connections at the top of the radiator provide for the attachment of the top hose and bleed pipe. A connection at
the bottom of the radiator allows for the attachment of the bottom hose to the thermostat housing.
Two smaller radiators are located in front of the cooling radiator. The lower radiator provides cooling of the gearbox
oil and the upper radiator provides cooling for the engine oil.

Pipes and hoses
The coolant circuit comprises flexible hoses and metal formed pipes which direct coolant into and out of the engine,
radiator and heater matrix. Plastic pipes are used for the bleed and overflow pipes to the expansion tank.
A bleed screw is installed in the radiator top hose and is used to bleed air during system filling. A drain plug is fitted
to each cylinder bank in the cylinder block. These are used to drain the block of coolant.
