Design
The fuel tank is made out of sheet steel and has a capacity of
70 liters.
A number of baffle plates prevent a gasoline smell.
Function
The fuel flows from the fuel pump over a fuel line to the fuel filter with fuel pressure regulator.
Excess fuel flows from the fuel pressure regulator back into the fuel feed module.
A suction jet pump is installed below to ensure that the fuel feed module is supplied with sufficient fuel. This is supplied with fuel from the return line.
The filtered fuel (with controlled fuel pressure) is passed on from the fuel pressure regulator via a fuel line to the engine (single line system).
The housing of the fuel delivery module serves as a swirl pot. While cornering with a low level of fuel in the fuel tank, it prevents the fuel pump from drawing air.
A fuel strainer is installed at the feed point to the fuel pump (coarse filter).
The signal from the fuel level sensor is transmitted to the rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module which passes on the signal over the CAN data bus to the instrument cluster.
