FUEL PUMP MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The fuel pump module on all models/all engines is
installed in the top of the fuel tank (Fig. 12) or (Fig.
13). The fuel pump module contains the following
components :
• A combination fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator
• Electric fuel pump
• Fuel pump reservoir
• A separate in-tank fuel filter (at bottom of mod-
ule)
• Fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor)
• Fuel supply line connection at filter/regulator
• A threaded locknut to retain pump module to
fuel tank
• A rubber gasket between tank flange and pump
module
The fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor), and
pick-up filter (at bottom of module) may be serviced
separately. If the electrical fuel pump requires ser-
vice, the entire fuel pump module must be replaced.
