Fuel System Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric fuel pump, located in the fuel tank with the fuel sender assembly, pumps fuel through an in-tank fuel filter to the fuel rail assembly. The pump provides fuel at a pressure that is more than is needed by the injectors. The fuel pressure regulator, part of the fuel rail assembly, keeps fuel available to the injectors at a regulated pressure.
