6. Fuel System
General
The compressed gas [maximum pressure approximately 250 kg / cm
2 (3600 psi, 24.8 MPa) @ 21C
(70F)] from the CNG fuel tank located in the rear section of the vehicle is routed via a fuel filter to the
engine compartment. The pressure of the fuel is then reduced to 8 kg / cm
2 (114 psi, 785 kPa).
A pressure regulator and injectors designed exclusively for CNG application have been adopted.
A fuel pressure sensor and a fuel temperature sensor that are used for the correction of the fuel injection
volume are located on the delivery pipe.
The fuel tank, pressure regulator, and the delivery pipe are provided with shutoff valves that shut off the
fuel when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
In addition, these valves shut off the fuel when the engine stalls, the SRS airbag is deployed, or the pres-
sure in the main pipe becomes abnormally low.
A fuel temperature sensor for the fuel gauge is mounted on the tank valve assembly, and a fuel pressure
sensor is mounted immediately upstream of the pressure regulator.

Fuel Filter
Mounted below the vehicle floor, the fuel filter
removes any moisture or oil from the fuel.
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 kg / 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
associated with the expansion of the gas causes the fuel pressure regulator to be cooled excessively, exert-
ing 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.

and correct the applicable causes if necessary.
1. Faulty ignitions:
wIncorrect timing
wFouled, shorted or improperly gapped plugs
wOpen or crossed high±tension cords
wCracked distributor cap
2. Incorrect valve clearance
3. Leaky EGR valve
4. Leaky intake and exhaust valves
5. Leaky cylinder
1. Restricted air filter
2. Faulty MFI/SFI systems
wFaulty pressure regulator
wClogged fuel return line
wDefective engine coolant temp. sensor
