Fuel Sender Assembly
The fuel sender assembly consists of the following major components:
- The fill limit vent valve (1)
- The fuel feed pipe (2)
- The fuel tank pressure sensor (3)
- The fuel level sensor (4)
- The fuel pump electrical connector (5)
The modular fuel sender assembly mounts to the threaded opening of the plastic fuel tank with a seal and a retainer ring. The reservoir, containing the exterior inlet strainer, the electric fuel pump and the fuel filter, maintains contact with the tank bottom. This design provides:
- Optimum fuel level in the integral fuel reservoir during all fuel tank levels and during driving conditions
- An improved tank fuel level measuring accuracy
- An improved coarse straining and added pump inlet filtering
- More extensive internal fuel pump isolation for noiseless operation
