Fuel Tank Fuel Pump Module
An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel tank fuel pump module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies fuel through the fuel feed pipe to the high pressure fuel pump. The fuel tank fuel pump module contains a reverse flow check valve. The check valve maintains fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe in order to prevent long cranking times.
The fuel tank fuel pump module consists of the following major components:
- The fuel level sensor
- The fuel pump and reservoir assembly
- The fuel filter
