Fuel Tank and Lines

3.5L Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection (GTDI)

Fuel Tank and Lines

The fuel tank and lines consists of:

• a dual-container (saddle-type) fuel tank.
• a fuel level sensor assembly.
• a FP module that operates on 5.5 to 12 volts depending on load, that supplies fuel under pressure to the high pressure FP .
• a lifetime fuel filter (serviced as part of the FP module).
• an Easy Fuel ^TM (capless) fuel tank filler pipe assembly, which cannot be modified in any way and is serviced only by the installation of a new fuel tank filler pipe assembly.
• a supplemental refueling adapter located in the spare tire compartment.
• fuel tubes (liquid and vapor) along with brake tubes mounted on the underside of the vehicle in a bundle.
• a FTP sensor (part of the fuel vapor tube assembly).
• a serviceable fuel level sender mounted on the FP module.
• a serviceable fuel level sender mounted on the fuel level sensor assembly.

3.5L Ti-VCT

Fuel Tank and Lines

The fuel tank and lines consist of:

• a dual-container (saddle-type) fuel tank.
• a fuel level sensor assembly.
• a Fuel Pump (FP) module that supplies fuel under pressure to the fuel rail.
• a lifetime fuel filter (serviced as part of the FP module).
• an Easy Fuel ^TM (capless) fuel tank filler pipe assembly, which cannot be modified in any way and is serviced only by the installation of a new fuel tank filler pipe assembly.
• a supplemental refueling adapter located in the spare tire compartment.
• a FP module that operates on 10 or 12 volts depending on load, that supplies fuel under pressure to the fuel rail.
• fuel tubes (liquid and vapor) along with brake tubes mounted on the underside of the vehicle in a bundle.
• a Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor (part of the fuel vapor tube assembly).
• a serviceable fuel level sender mounted on the FP module.
• a serviceable fuel level sender mounted on the fuel level sensor assembly.

Fuel Pump (FP) Shut-off Feature

In the event of a moderate to severe collision, the vehicle is equipped with a FP shut-off feature that is initiated by the event notification signal.

The event notification signal is a signal provided by the Restraints Control Module (RCM) to the FP control module. Signal communication between the RCM and the FP control module allows the PCM to shut-off the FP .

Should the vehicle shut off after a collision due to this feature, the vehicle may be restarted by first turning the ignition to the OFF position and then turn the ignition to the ON position. In some instances, the vehicle may not start the first time and may take one additional ignition cycle.
