Fuel Supply Module (FSM)

Fuel Supply Module (FSM) Description

The FSM contains the fuel lift pump, high‑pressure fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, and the fuel cooler. The filling of the
FSM is provided by the positive displacement fuel lift pump. Modulation of the fuel lift pump is not required.
The volume of entrained air in the FSM, high‑pressure fuel line, and fuel rail must be purged to allow the fuel to reach the top
fuel injector on the fuel rail. When the FSM is properly purged, it is almost always completely filled. The fuel lift pump and the
high‑pressure fuel pump are both powered by the same electrical circuit inside the FSM. Power from the fuel pump relay
activates the fuel lift pump and the high‑pressure fuel pump. Fuel pressure is controlled by the fuel pressure regulator located
inside the FSM.
Cooling of the fuel occurs with a bi‑level heat transfer. Inside the FSM are four metal tubes: two that are large diameter and two
that are smaller diameter. The smaller diameter tubes are inside the large diameter tubes. The large diameter metal tubes pass
water that cools the reservoir fuel and the fuel that passes through the smaller diameter tubes from the high‑pressure pump
and fuel pressure regulator.
