System Overview

The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric fuel pump, located in the fuel tank within the modular fuel sender assembly, pumps fuel through an in-line fuel filter to the fuel rail assembly. The pump provides fuel pressure greater than is needed by the injectors. The fuel pressure regulator keeps fuel available to the injectors at a regulated pressure. A separate fuel pipe is used to return fuel to the fuel tank.
