Fuel System

Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank through the primary filter (located in the horizontal fuel conditioning module) by the electric fuel pump. Pressurized fuel, approximately 310-379 kPa (45-55 psi), is supplied to the secondary filter (the fuel filter housing located on the front left side of the engine) by means of the electric pump and regulator valve. The regulator relieves the pressure, sending fuel back to the fuel tank. Only the filtered fuel going through the fuel filter goes to the heads. A check valve is located on both heads to prevent fuel pressure spikes in the fuel rail.
