Operating diagram of the fuel supply circuit ( « pump - sender - fuel filter » assembly)
The fuel supply circuit does not have a return.
The fuel pressure does not vary with engine load.
The circuit comprises:
-a rail (1) without a return pipe union and without a
supply pressure regulator,
-a single pipe (2) coming from the tank,
-a « pump - sender - fuel filter » supply assembly fitted
with a pressure regulator (3) , fuel pump (4) and fuel
filter (5) (all located in the tank),
-a fuel vapour recirculation tank (6) .

CHECK
aI - PREPARATION OPERATION FOR CHECK
aEnsure you have a checking tool (Mot. 1311-01) and
a “T” union (Mot. 1311-08).
aRemove the oil filler neck.
II - TEST OPERATION
aDisconnect the petrol inlet pipe from the injector rail. Special tooling required
Mot. 1311-01Pressure gauges and petrol
pressure measur ing unions.
Mot. 1311-08Union for taking fuel pres-
sure measurements .
IMPORTANT
During this operation, be sure to:
-refrain from smoking or bringing red hot objects
close to the working area,
-be careful of fuel splashes when disconnecting
the union.
IMPORTANT
Wear goggles with side protectors for this opera-
tion.
IMPORTANT
Wear leaktight gloves (Nitrile type) for this opera-
tion.
WARNING
To avoid any corrosion or damage, protect the
areas on which fuel is likely to run.
