2892421 - INTRODUCTION - FUEL TANK AND PIPES (GPOWER, Euro 3, BIPOWER)

The fuel system is "returnless", i.e. with a single pipe connecting fuel tank and engine. The return pipe, filter and pressure regulator have therefore been eliminated. The filter and pressure regulator are built into the pump assembly.

This:

  • minimises the possibility of the vehicle catching fire in case of an accident.
  • reduces fuel vapour emissions to the atmosphere.
The fuel tank is located in front of the rear axle. It is made out of plastic with high mechanical strength.

FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM

-
1, Fuel tank2, Submerged pump assembly3, Fuel filler pipe4, Fuel manifold5, Injectors (see 1056) The dual operation fuel system (petrol and methane) consists of a traditional fuel system (Magneti Marelli IAW 49F) for petrol operation and a built in (OMT Tartarini) CNG fuel system for methane operation.The methane fuel system is described in subassembly 1042.The petrol supply system is "returnless", i.e. with a single pipe connecting fuel tank and engine. The return pipe, filter and pressure regulator have therefore been eliminated. The filter and pressure regulator are built into the pump assembly.

This:

  • minimises the possibility of the vehicle catching fire in case of an accident.

1, Fuel tank2, Submerged pump assembly3, Petrol supply pipe4, Petrol manifold/injectors The dual fuel system (petrol and LPG) consists of a combination of a basic conventional petrol system (Magneti Marelli IAW 4EF.G1) for petrol operation and a Liquid Petroleum Gas supply system (Vialle/Metatron) for LPG operation.The LPG supply system is described in subunit 1043.The petrol supply system is "returnless", i.e. with a single pipe connecting fuel tank and engine. The return pipe, filter and pressure regulator have therefore been eliminated. The filter and pressure regulator are built into the pump assembly.
