Modular Fuel Sender
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
| Callout | Component Name |
|---|---|
| 1 | The Fuel Pump |
| 2 | The Fuel Gauge Float Arm |
| 3 | The Fuel Reservoir |
The modular fuel sender assembly mounts to the threaded opening of the plastic fuel tank with a multi-lipped seal and a threaded retainer (nut). The reservoir, containing the exterior inlet strainer, the electric fuel pump and the pump strainer, maintains contact with the tank bottom. This design provides:
- Optimum fuel level in the integral fuel reservoir during all fuel tank levels and during driving conditions
- Improved tank fuel level measuring accuracy
- Improved coarse straining and added pump inlet filtering
- More extensive internal fuel pump isolation for noiseless operation
