Fuel Shutoff Valve for Fuel Tank
This valve uses an solenoid valve. The main pipe that supplies compressed gas to the engine is connected
to this valve, which opens when the ignition switch is turned ON. If the engine stalls, this valve automatical-
ly shuts off the fuel even if the ignition switch is turned ON. The valve reopens upon restarting the engine.
Also, this valve shuts off the fuel if the SRS airbag is deployed in a collision or if the pressure in the
main pipe becomes abnormally low.
Inlet Check Valve
Connected to a filler pipe that guides the fuel that fills through the coupler, the inlet check valve shuts
off by the force of a spring and by the pressure of the gas in the tank.
During filling, the pressure of the filling gas opens the inlet check valve.
Relief Valve
A vent tube is connected to this valve.
If the fuel tank is exposed to an abnormally high temperature, this valve opens (by melting) to discharge
the CNG at a predetermined temperature, thus preventing the fuel tank from bursting due to the increase
in gas pressure.
The discharged CNG is guided under the floor through a vent tube and is released outside of the vehicle.
4. Coupler
The coupler allows the fuel to be filled when it is connected with a fuel filling nozzle. The coupler has
a built-in check valve to prevent the CNG from flowing backward.
5. Manual Shutoff Valve
This valve is mounted below the vehicle floor.
When servicing the vehicle, this valve can be manu-
ally turned 90 degrees to shut off the main pipe.

6. Fuel Filter
Mounted below the vehicle floor, the fuel filter re-
moves any moisture or oil from the fuel.
7. Fuel Pressure Regulator
The fuel pressure regulator regulates the fuel pressure by reducing the pressure of the compressed natural
gas from the fuel tank to the fuel injection pressure, which is 8 km/cm
2 (114 psi, 785 kPa).
Similar to the fuel shutoff valve for the fuel tank, a fuel shutoff valve is provided on the fuel inlet side
of the fuel pressure regulator to shut off the supply of fuel when the engine is stopped or during abnormal
conditions.
An oil separator that traps the moisture and oil in the fuel is provided on the low pressure side.
A built-in relief valve is provided to protect the parts located on the low pressure side.
While the fuel pressure is being reduced by the fuel pressure regulator, the Joule-Thomson effect associat-
ed with the expansion of the gas causes the fuel pressure regulator to be cooled excessively, exerting
unfavorable influence on the rubber parts such as diaphragms and fuel hoses.
Therefore, to raise the gas temperature, a water passage is provided in the fuel pressure regulator to
allow the engine coolant to warm the regulator.

8. Delivery Pipe
A delivery pipe with a wide passage that enables a large volume of gas to flow responsively has been
adopted to minimize the pressure loss.
A fuel pressure sensor and a fuel temperature sensor that help correct the fuel injection volume are mounted
on the delivery pipe.
Similar to the fuel shutoff valves for the fuel tank and the fuel pressure regulator, a fuel shutoff valve
is provided on the fuel inlet side of the delivery pipe to shut off the supply of fuel when the engine
is stopped or during abnormal conditions.
To discharge the fuel out of the delivery pipe during service, a discharge valve is provided.

9. Injector
For the injection of fuel in the gaseous state, injectors that allow the flow of a large volume of fuel and
provide improved sealing performance have been adopted.
These injectors are actuated by the voltage (150V) that has been increased by the voltage booster circuit
provided in the ECM.

10. Fuel Temperatur and Pressure Sensor for Fuel Gage
A fuel temperature sensor that detects the temperature in the fuel tank is provided on the tank valve assembly.
A fuel pressure sensor that detects the pressure in the fuel main pipe is provided immediately upstream
of the fuel pressure regulator.
The pressure and the temperature of the fuel are detected by these sensors and are input into the ECM.
These values are then converted by the ECM into the equivalent pressure at 215C to actuate the fuel gauge.
IGNITION SYSTEM
Because the spark plugs are susceptible to rust when used with natural gas, corrosion-resistant spark plugs
have been adopted. These spark plugs are the iridium-tipped spark plugs that have their metallic portion
plated.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
1. General
An engine control system based on the 5S-FE engine has been adopted. The knock sensor has been discontin-
ued because natural gas has a high octane value and is less susceptible to knocking.
The engine control system of 5S-FNE and 5S-FE engines are compared below.

A D-type SFI system is used, which indirectly detects
intake air volume by manifold absolute pressure sensor.

nals from various sensors.
