2008 GEELY FC fuel

Preface
Geely “FC” is an automobile with high performance/price ratio and it meets the requirement
of national safety, energy saving, emission regulations and personal use. This automobile is
a completely new and excellent model produced by Zhejiang Geely Automobile Co., Ltd with
development in self-reliance of Geely group and with self-dominated intellectual property
right. It characterizes elegant appearance,
energy conservation and environmental protection,
safety and comfort. “FC” is a product opening a completely new viewpoint of automobile
selection, because it is developed on the basis of creative design thinking that breaks through
all established customs and it features perfectly balanced performance of power, space,
safety, manipulation and comfort. “FC” is a competitive product for Geely developing brand
and exploring mid-level automobile market, which takes over the company philosophy “make
good cars that common people can afford, and let Geely cars go to the whole world” of Geely
automobile. “FC” is combination of creativity and intelligence of quite a large number of
automobile experts, who have been developing and searching with great concentration for
more than 30 months, and it fully embodies persistent Geely style of fashion appearance
and high performance/price ratio.
“FC” is equipped with engine JL4G18 completely developed and produced by Geely group.
Engine JL4G18 applies the following advanced technology such as VVT, full aluminum cylin-
der body, plastic intake manifold, completely new VVT inside seal method, completely new
OCV valve filtering method etc. with M7.9.7 electric injection system of BOSCH, and its
index on power efficiency, economical efficiency, and safety efficiency etc. reaches leading
level of national model with the same type. This engine features strong power, low fuel
consumption, low noise and high power per liter etc.
We start to compile “FC” Automobile Maintenance Manual, which is divided into 27 sec-
tions with detailed description of overall structure and maintenance of engine 4G18.VVT;
inspection and repair of engine BOSCH M7.9.7 electric control fuel injection system; struc-
ture and maintenance of chassis; structure and maintenance of FC electrical equipment;
structure and maintenance of ABS anti-lock brake system; structure and maintenance of
SRS air bag; structure and maintenance of auto air conditioning system; structure and main-
tenance of vehicle body etc. Information is detailed and accurate, contents are in systematic
coherence and description is concise and comprehensive.
This manual is compiled from structure, which prompts “FC” service personnel to master

FuelFuel systemPrecautions1. Before repairing fuel system, uncouple battery negative (-) wire at first.
2. When operating on fuel system, do not smoke or repair near fire area.
3. Do not let gasoline come into contact with rubber or leather parts.
4. Take measures to prevent gasoline leaking.(a) Uncouple electric fuel pump joint.
(b) Start engine and turn ignition switch to LOCK position
after the engine flames out.
(c) Uncouple battery negative (-) wire.
(d) Couple electric fuel pump joint.5. Fuel system(a) There will be a great amount of gasoline flowing out
when disassembling high-pressure fuel pipe,
therefore, it is required to observe the following
procedures.
(1) Take measures to prevent gasoline leaking.
(2) Disassemble fuel pipe.
(3) Completely discharge the oil in fuel pipe.
(4) Cover the fuel pipe with plastic bag to avoid pipe
damage and foreign matters entering.
(5) Place a container under the joint.
(b) When removing and installing injection nozzle, always
observe the following precautions.Fuel-Fuel system 14

Fuel-Fuel system(1) It is not allowed to use o-ring repeatedly.
(2) When installing o-ring, always be careful to avoid dam-
aging o-ring.
(3) Before installing, coat o-ring with spindle oil or gasoline.
It is not allowed to coat with engine oil, gear oil or
brake fluid.
(c) As shown in the diagram, install injection nozzle to oil feed
pipe and cylinder head.
Before installing, ensure that spindle oil and gasoline are
coated at the contact position between o-ring and oil feed
pipe.
(d) When disassembling oil feed pipe, always observe the fol-
lowing precautions.
(1) Remove oil feed pipe clips.
(2) Remove oil feed hose.
(3) Cover oil inlet of fuel distribution pipe with plastic bag
to avoid foreign materials entering the fuel distribution
pipe.injection nozzle6. Inspection of fuel leakage(1) After completing maintenance, check there is leakage with the whole fuel system.
(2) Connect hand-held tester to diagnostic joint.
(3) Turn ignition switch to ON and turn main switch of hand-held tester to ON.
(4) Switch hand-held tester to function test state.
(5) For further details, please see hand-held tester operating instruction.
(6) If there is no hand-held tester, connect battery anode and cathode to electric fuel pump joint.
(7) Ensure that there is no leakage with all parts of electric fuel pump.
(8) Turn ignition switch to LOCK.
(9) Disassemble hand-held tester from diagnostic interface joint.15o-ringoil feed pipeoil feed pipeo-ringwasherCorrect

On-vehicle inspection1. Inspection of fuel pump function(a) Connect hand-held tester to diagnostic joint.
(b) Turn ignition switch to ON and turn main switch of hand-
held tester to ON.
Note: do not start the engine.
(c) Switch hand-held tester to function test state.
(d) For further details, please see hand-held tester operating
instruction.
(e) If there is no hand-held tester, connect battery positive (+)
wire to P+ terminal and negative (-) wire to P- terminal.2. Inspection of fuel pressure(a) Preparation of inspection.
Purchase new fuel hose and take out fuel pipe joint.
(b) Take measures to prevent gasoline leaking.
(c) Disassemble fuel pipe clamp at fuel pipe joint of fuel rail
component.
(d) Disassemble fuel hose from fuel pipe of fuel rail component.
(e) As shown in the diagram, install special tool (pressure
gauge) with special tool and fuel pipe joint.
(f) Check there is fuel leakage.
(g) Start engine.
(h) Measure the fuel pressure at idle speed state.
Fuel pressure: 390~400Pa
(i) Take measures again to prevent gasoline leaking.
(j) After measuring the fuel pressure, remove special tool.
(k) Connect back fuel hose.
(l) Install fuel hose fixing clip to fuel pipe joint.
(m)Check there is fuel leakage.Fuel-Fuel systemSpecial
