FUEL PUMP UNIT CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION [LF]

Fuel Pump Unit

• Mainly consists of a fuel filter (high-pressure),
pressure regulator, fuel pump, fuel reserve cup,
and fuel filter (low-pressure).
• A pressure regulator is built-in due to the adoption
of a returnees fuel system.
• A hard-plastic fuel pump unit, with an integrated
fuel filter (high-pressure) and fuel pump, has been
adopted to simplify the fuel line.
• The fuel pump unit can be disassembled.
• Fuel in the fuel reserve cup is sectioned out
through the fuel filter (low-pressure) by the fuel
pump, and pumped to the fuel filter (high-
pressure). Return fuel is sent back to the fuel reserve cup or the fuel tank through the jet pump.

FUEL FILTER
(HIGH-PRESSURE)

Pressure Regulator

• Built into the fuel pump unit due to adoption of a returnees fuel system.
• Mainly consists of a spring, release valve and diaphragm.
• Pressurizes fuel discharged by the fuel pump to approx. 390 kPa {3.98 kgf/cm
diaphragm and release valve, and then pumps it to the fuel distributor.
• If fuel pressure exceeds approx. 390 kPa {3.98 kgf/cm
unnecessary fuel pressure.
