Jet Pumps
Fuel feed from the fuel pumps is split three ways:
1. Feed to the fuel rails.
2. Feed to the swirl pot jet pump (integral to the FDM).
3. Feed to the externally mounted jet pump (LHS). These pumps ensure that the appropriate pump swirl
pot is maintained with fuel under severe dynamic
conditions.
Filler Neck and Check Valve
Incoming fuel passes through a check valve at the base of the
filler neck. This valve is normally held closed by light spring
pressure. The valve opens under the pressure of incoming
fuel and closes again when fuel flow ceases. The check valve
prevents surging of fuel in the filler neck.
The filler neck also forms part of the on-board refuelling
vapour recovery system. Incoming fuel forms a liquid seal in
the filler neck. Thus any air displaced during fuel tank filling
cannot escape via the filler neck.

Normal Fuel Fill - Air displaced from the fuel tank during
filling can only exit via the fuel level vent valve and roll over
valves and be forced through the carbon canister. Any fuel
vapour in the displaced air is absorbed in the carbon filter
material. No fuel vapour can escape to the atmosphere.
Clean air then exits the carbon canister, via and additional
filter, to atmosphere.
Excessive Fuel Fill - In the event of overfilling of the fuel
tank, the fuel level vent valve will close at normal maximum
fuel level. Finally the roll over vent valve will close,
completely sealing the tank. Any excess pressure in the fuel
tank will ‘blow off’ via the Ov er-pressure vent valve (part of
the roll over vent valves) in the Fuel Level vent valve
assembly.
Safety Precautions
Operations on fuel system resu lt in fuel liquid and vapour
being present in the working environment. This presents a
very serious risk and the following precautions must be
strictly observed:
Specifications
Warning
Operations on refuelling and the fuel system must only
be performed by personnel who have completed training on fuel handling.
Warning
Smoking must not be allowed near the working area. “NO SMOKING” signs must be posted around the
working area.
Warning
Any operation which could involve sparks or naked lights (e.g. battery testing, welding, metal grinding,
etc.) must not be allowed near the working area.
Warning
A CO2 fire extinguisher must be available close at hand.

May 2007 Workshop Manual 18-1-9
In a correctly protected circuit, the fuse is placed ‘ Inline’
between the power source in this case the battery and the
lamp. If the lamp goes ‘short circuit’, a massive current will
begin to flow and the fuse will fail causing an open circuit.
The battery and wiring are protected from over current
damage.
Below is the fuse symbol as shown on the circuit diagrams.
The number above the fuse symbol is the fuse number;
allocated to this fuse. The number below the fuse symbol is
the rating.
Resistors
A resistor is an electronic component that by way of its
construction reduces the current flowing through it. A
resistors unit of measure is the Ohm.
The diagrams below show a resi stor and a variable resistor.
Variable Resistors
A variable resistor works in the same manner as a normal
resistor but the resistance values can fluctuate. The
construction of a variable resi stor depends upon its use and
environment.
One example is for the fuel tank level sensor. The tank full
level is 10 ohms and the tank empty level is 204 ohms, the
resistance will vary between 10 and 204 ohms depending on
how much fuel is in the tank.
Lamps
Below is the symbol for a light bulb, shown below the
symbol is the power of the bulb in watts.
Switches
There are numerous of types of switch, several of examples
are shown below.
Normally Open Switch
2 Position Switch
3 Position Switch
Motors and Pumps
The same symbol is used for a pump or a motor, the
description differentiates between them.
