2551018 - INTRODUCTION - FUEL TANK AND PIPES (Cargo trim level, Doblò trim level, BIPOWER)

The fuel system is the ''returnless'' type, i.e. with only one connecting pipe between the fuel tank and engine, on account of which the return pipe, the filter and the pressure regulator have been dispensed with; the latter two components are incorporated in the pump assembly.

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 strength, and has a capacity of 60 litres.The fuel system consists of the components illustrated in the figure below.
