  • L-shaped fuel tank.
  • Fuel Pump (FP) module.
  • FP  control module.
  • Easy Fuel™ (capless) fuel tank filler pipe assembly.
  • Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch.
  • fuel tubes (liquid and vapor).
  • fuel injectors.
  • fuel rail.
  • Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor (part of the fuel vapor tube assembly).

The vehicle:

  • uses a 2-speed Mechanical Returnless Fuel System (MRFS).
  • uses a standard (L-shaped) fuel tank.
  • has a FP  module that supplies fuel under pressure to the fuel rail.
  • has a lifetime fuel filter (serviced as part of the FP  module).
  • has a serviceable fuel level sender mounted on the FP  module.
  • has 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.
  • has a supplemental refueling adapter, located behind RR quarter trim access panel.
  • has a FP  module that operates on 10 or 12 volts depending on load, that supplies fuel under pressure to the fuel rail.
  • has a FP  control module located behind the fuel tank, mounted to the underside of the vehicle.
