Fuel Delivery System: Description

In a conventional fuel system, extra fuel is returned from the engine to the fuel tank through the pressure regulator. The Spectra has adopted a returnless fuel system which eliminates the fuel return line from engine to tank. The main reason for adopting this type of system is to lower fuel and fuel tank temperatures to reduce evaporative emissions.
