Fuel Pump Module: Description

The fuel pump module is installed in the top of the fuel tank (Fig 1 ). The fuel pump module (Fig 2 ) contains the following components:

• A separate fuel pick-up filter (strainer)
• An electric fuel pump
• A threaded lock nut to retain module to tank
• A gasket between tank flange and module
• Fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor)
• Fuel supply tube (line) connection
• Fuel return tube (line) connection

  The fuel gauge sending unit and pick-up filter may be serviced separately. If the electrical fuel pump requires service, the entire fuel pump module must be replaced.
