Fuel tank
The fuel tank is a plastic construction. It is fixed to the car with two steel bands (clamps). The fastening clamps on the side of the rear of the fuel tank are fixed on the underside of the vehicle chassis, and on the side of the front of the fuel tank they are fastened with bolts.
The fuel tank ventilation system is equipped with two shut-off valves (rollover lockable), which divert fuel vapors through a backpressure valve and on to the carbon filter of the fuel vapor control system, which absorbs (absorbs) fuel vapors. A check valve is installed at the top of the fuel tank and prevents fuel from flowing out of the fuel tank in the event of a rollover.
Fuel filter
The fuel filter has a traditional design and is a paper filter element enclosed in a steel housing. The fuel filter is located on a bracket mounted on the front edge of the fuel tank.
Fuel tank filler pipe
The fuel tank filler pipe is a steel structure with a rubber tank connection. The pipe is attached to the vehicle with one upper bolt and one lower bolt. The fuel tank filler pipe is fitted with a 1/8 turn cap that seals the system.
Fuel pump
The fuel pump is a turbine type pump that is located in the fuel tank. The fuel pump has a built-in fuel sensor and is fixed in the fuel tank with a retaining ring.
Adaptive Fuel Module - Vehicles with adaptive fuel system
The adaptive fuel module is located on the right side, behind the floor covering under the rear seat cushion.
Inertial fuel cut-off switch
The inertial fuel cut-off switch interrupts the power supply to the fuel pump in the event of an emergency. It is located in the right footwell behind the front door trim panel.
Inspection and verification
1. Check the validity of the customer's complaint by activating the system.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

Electrical Factors |
- Fuel tank – Fuel lines – Fuel connectors – Fuel leaks – Fuel filler cap – Fuel tank filler pipe |
– Inertial fuel supply switch – Loose or corroded electrical connector (s) – Fuel pump module |
3. If an obvious cause of a problem you identified or described by the customer is found, correct the problem before proceeding to further action (if possible).
4. If the problem persists after inspection, refer to FDS 2000.
