2002 Mini Cooper Base, Automatic CVTFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Fuel Management

Seeing engine revolutions the EMS2000 provides a ground signal to the fuel pump relay. The fuel pump relay is on a fused circuit further protected by the inertia switch(<9/2002).

The fuel pump, mounted in the swirl pot of the left side of the blow molded saddle type fuel tank, picks up fuel through the life time fuel filter and passes it to the right side tank. In the right tank the fuel is passed through a pressure regulator where a fuel pressure of 3.5 bar is maintained. Excess fuel is returned from the right tank to the left tank through a syphon jet that also transfers fuel to the left tank.
