Description
The modular fuel pump and sender assembly maintains an optimum fuel level in the reservoir. This ensures a continuous fuel flow under all fuel level conditions and vehicle attitudes. The modular fuel pump and sender
assembly also provides an accurate means of measuring the fuel level within the fuel tank.

Fuel System – V6 Page 6C – 7

Fuel Flow
Fuel (A) is drawn into the modular fuel pump and sender
assembly reservoir from the fuel tank, through the primary
umbrella valve (5) and into the fuel pump impeller, via the
internal strainer (4) at the fuel pump (1) inlet. At the impeller,
vapour (C) is separated from the fuel. The vapour is ejected
from the fuel pump into the reservoir via a port next to the
fuel pump inlet.
High-pressure fuel then flows through the end cap, the lower
connector and the flexible line. From the flexible line, fuel
exits the modular fuel pump and sender assembly through
the fuel feed port and flows on to the externally-mounted
fuel filter and the engine.
A fuel pressure regulator is located in the modular fuel pump
and sender assembly; fuel not used by the engine (B) is
returned to the modular fuel pump and sender assembly via
the fuel return line and the fuel return port in the modular
fuel pump and sender assembly cover. The return fuel
enters the jet pump standpipe (3) of the reservoir via the
return fuel tube.
Vehicle fuel line pressure is maintained by a pressure
regulator (2) located within the modular fuel pump and
sender assembly.
W hen the engine is switched off, the reservoir remains full of
fuel, due to the action of the primary umbrella valve. At high
fuel levels, fuel tank overflow enters the reservoir over the
top of the reservoir. Fuel level in the reservoir is also
maintained by returned engine fuel.
Electrical power is supplied to the fuel pump by a connector
secured to the modular fuel pump and sender assembly
cover. An internal harness (not shown) assembly completes
the connection to the pump.

Reinstall
1 Apply a small amount of engine oil or light oil to the
fuel line to assist in the assembly of the connector.


NOTE
Assembly of the fuel line and quick connectors
should take place immediately after applying the
oil to prevent any dust from sticking to the
surface, which may cause the connector to leak.
Figure 6C – 12
4.2 Fuel Filter
Removal
1 Depressurize the fuel system, refer to 3.4 Fuel
System Depressurisation.
2 Disconnect the battery ground cable.

A small amount of fuel will flow out of the
fuel lines and filter when disconnected.
3 Locate the fuel filter attached to the front of the fuel tank, place a drain tray below the fuel filter and
remove the fuel line quick connectors from the inlet
(2) and the outlet (1) of the fuel filter, refer to 4.1 Fuel
Lines And Quick Connect Fittings.

4 Release the 3 clips (1) on the passenger side of the
fuel filter holder and slide the fuel filter from the holder
in the direction of the arrow.

NOTE
Cover the quick connectors to prevent any dirt
from entering the fuel system.
Figure 6C – 14
Inspection
1 Replace the fuel filter if fuel leaks from the filter body or if the fuel filter body itself is damaged.
2 Replace the fuel filter if it is clogged with dirt or sediment or the filter shows signs of being contaminated with water or other foreign materials.
Reinstallation
1 Slide the fuel filter into the holder attached to the front of the fuel tank, make sure the three plastic locking
clips secure the filter in place.
NOTE
• Ensure the fuel filter inlet line is facing the
drivers side if the vehicle and the outlet line is
facing the passengers side of the vehicle.
• The direction arrow indicates the direction of
fuel flow.
2 Connect the inlet and outlet fuel line quick connectors to the fuel filter, refer to 4.1 Fuel Lines And Quick
Connect Fittings.

Remove

• A depressurised fuel system contains fuel
in the fuel filter and fuel lines that can be
spilled during service operations.
• Fuel vapour remains in the fuel tank even
when completely empty. Seal all openings
in the fuel tank using suitable material or a
plastic plug. Ensure no naked flames or
other ignition sources are nearby. Ensure
all cellular phones (and transmission
devices that may cause any metal objects
to become unintentional receiving
antennas) are switched off.
• Place a dry chemical (Class B) fire
extinguisher nearby before performing any
on-vehicle service procedures. Failure to
follow these precautions may result in
personal injury.
1 Remove the fuel pump relay, refer to 8A Electrical Body and Chassis.
2 Depressurise the fuel system, refer to 3.4 Fuel System Depressurisation.

Never drain or store fuel into an open
container, due to the possibility of fire or
explosion.
3 Siphon the fuel tank, using commercially-available equipment.

Before proceeding, clean all traces of dirt and
other foreign material from the top of the fuel
tank, near the modular fuel pump and sender
assembly.
7 Place a drain tray under the fuel filter area.

Fuel can spill from the disconnected filter.

Reinstall
Reinstallation of the fuel tank is the reverse of the removal procedure, noting the following:
1 Lift the fuel tank into position reinserting the fuel tank inlet and breather hoses into the body opening. Raise the fuel tank into place and rest the front of the tank on the crossmember.
2 Replace the fuel pump electrical connector, be sure to engage the locking tab.
3 Fit the fuel tank mounting straps in the following order, refer to Figure 6C – 17, a Loosely reattach the rear fuel tank mounting strap and bolt (8 & 9), refer to Figure 6C – 17.
b Loosely attach the front mounting strap and bolt (1 & 2), refer to Figure 6C – 17.
c Ensure that the fuel tank is located in the correct position then,
d Tighten the rear mounting strap bolt (8), Figure 6C – 17.
e Tighten the front mounting strap bolt (1), Figure 6C – 17.
4 Tighten all fuel tank mounting strap bolts to the correct torque specification.
Fuel tank mounting strap bolts
torque specification ............................................68.0 Nm

Install the fuel filter with the flow arrow on its
body pointing in the same direction as the
fuel flow to the front of the vehicle.
5 Install the disconnected quick-connect fittings to the fuel supply line at the front of the fuel tank and the evaporative line quick-connect fitting at the rear of the fuel tank. Refer to 4.1 Fuel Lines And Quick Connect Fittings, for the
correct component routeing.
6 Lower the vehicle to a comfortable working height and reinstall the clamp (1) to the fuel filler neck and reconnect the rubber fuel tank inlet hose (2) and tighten the clamp, refer to Figure 6C – 21.
7 Reinstall the fuel tank breather hose (3) to the fuel filler neck (1) and tighten the clamp (2), refer to Figure 6C – 20.
8 Clip the fuel filler door release cable (1) to the retainer on the fuel filler neck (2), refer to Figure 6C – 19.
9 Locate the fuel filler neck (3) to the filler pocket and attach with the securing screw (2), remove the cover material from the fuel filler neck inlet and refit the fuel filler cap (4), refer to Figure 6C – 18.
10 Reinstall the front half of the right-hand rear wheelhouse liner, refer to 10 Cab.
