FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - V8
19-2-4 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
The fuel delivery system comprises a fuel tank, fuel pump and regulator and eight injectors. The system is controlled
by the Engine Control Module (ECM) which energises the fuel pump relay and controls the operation and timing of
each injector solenoid.

+ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description - engine
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.

FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 19-2-7
The fuel pump is a 'self priming' wet type pump which is immersed in fuel in the tank. The fuel pump operates at all
times when the ignition switch is in position II. If the engine is not started, the ECU will 'time-out' after 2 seconds and
de-energise the fuel pump relay to protect the pump. The pump receives a feed from the battery via fuse 10 in the
engine compartment fusebox and the fuel pump relay. The relay is energised by the ECM when the ignition switch is
moved to position II.
The fuel pump is retained with a locking ring and sealed with a rubber seal. The locking ring requires a special tool
for removal and fitment. An access panel for the fuel pump is located in the loadspace floor below the loadspace
carpet. The access panel is sealed to the floor with a rubber seal and retained by six self-tapping screws.
The fuel gauge sender is integral with the fuel pump. The sender is submerged in the fuel and is operated by a float
which moves with the fuel level in the tank.
Fuel pump
The fuel pump assembly comprises a top cover which locates the fuel pressure regulator, electrical connector and
fuel pipe coupling. The top cover is attached to a plastic cup shaped housing by two metal springs. The housing
locates the pump and the fuel gauge sender unit.
The lower part of the housing is the swirl pot, which maintains a constant fuel level at the fuel pick-up. A feed pipe
from the pump to the coupling connection and a return pipe from the regulator connect between the top cover and the
housing.
A coarse filter is attached to the base of the housing and prevents the ingress of large contaminants into the swirl pot.
A gauze filter prevents particles entering the fuel pump.
Surrounding the pump is a large fine paper filter element which further protects the fuel pressure regulator, engine
and injectors from particulate contamination. The paper filter is not a serviceable item and removes the requirement
for an external in-line filter.
A non-return valve is located in the base of the housing. When the fuel tank is full, fuel pressure keeps the valve lifted
from its seat allowing fuel to flow into the swirl pot. As the tank level reduces, the fuel pressure in the tank reduces
causing the valve to close. When the valve is closed fuel is retained in the swirl pot, ensuring that the swirl pot remains
full and maintains a constant supply to the fuel pump.
A four pin electrical connector is located on the top cover of the pump and provides power feed and return for fuel
pump and fuel gauge rotary potentiometer operation. A single quick release coupling connects the fuel feed pipe to
the outer top surface of the pump.
Two metal springs are attached to the top cover and the housing of the pump. When the pump is installed it seats on
the lower surface inside the tank. The springs exert a downward pressure on the pump and ensure that the pump is
located positively at the bottom of the fuel tank.
The fuel pump has a maximum current draw of 6.5 A at 12.5 V.
On NAS vehicles with vacuum type EVAP system leak detection capability only, the fuel pump top cover is fitted with
an On Board Diagnostics (OBD) pressure sensor. This sensor has a three pin electrical connector which provides a
connection between the sensor and the ECM. The sensor is sealed in the top cover with an 'O' ring and secured with
a clip. The sensor monitors tank pressure during OBD tests of the fuel evaporation system integrity. A hose is
connected to the sensor and is routed across the top of the fuel tank and terminates at the top of the fuel filler tube.
The pipe is open to atmosphere and provides atmospheric pressure for the sensor operation.

19-2-10 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Operation
When the ignition switch is moved to position II, the fuel pump relay in the engine compartment fusebox is energised
by the ECM. Battery voltage is supplied from the fuel pump relay to the fuel pump which operates. If engine cranking
is not detected by the ECU within a thirty second period, the ECU will 'time-out', de-energising the fuel pump relay.

+ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description - engine
management.
The fuel pump draws fuel from the swirl pot and pumps it along the fuel feed pipe to the injector fuel rail on the engine.
When the pressure in the fuel feed line reaches 3.5 bar (50 lbf.in
2) the fuel pressure regulator opens and relieves
pressure by directing fuel back into the swirl pot. The pressure regulator is constantly opening and closing to maintain
the pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail at 3.5 bar (50 lbf.in
2).
The pressure is felt at each of the eight injectors connected to the fuel rail. The ECM controls the injection timing and
energises each injector to allow a metered amount of fuel at pump pressure to be injected into the inlet tract of the
inlet manifold. The atomised fuel from the injector is mixed with air from the inlet manifold before passing into the
cylinder.
