3026085 - Introduction - FUEL TANK AND PIPES
CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
The fuel system is of the 'returnless' type,
i.e. with only one connecting pipe between the fuel tank and engine.This makes it posible:
- to minimize the possibility of the vehicle catching
fire in the event of an accident
- to reduce fuel vapour emissions into the atmosphere.
The fuel tank, located in front of the rear
axle, is made from a plastic material with high mechanical resistance.The electric fuel pump is contained
in the casing which also incorpotates the:
- fuel pressure regulator
- fuel gauge sender unit
- fuel filter.
The system is equipped with an inertia switch
which, in the case of an impact to the vehicle, cuts off the supply
from the electric fuel pump.1 - Fuel tank
