5.  Switch on and off the VVT 

solenoid valve. Clean the valve 
with an air gun and repeat 2-3 
times. 

Note: Each time switch the valve on no 
longer than    2 seconds, otherwise the 
VVT solenoid valve may be damaged.

2.3.2 Description and Operation 

2.3.2.1 Description and Operation 

The fuel supply system provides a suitable amount of fuel to the engine in a variety of operating 
conditions. The fuel is sprayed into the engine through the fuel injectors. Fuel tank stores fuel. An 
electric fuel pump is installed in the fuel tank and it will pump fuel into the fuel distributing pipe 
assembly. Fuel pump provided fuel pressure exceeds the pressure needed by fuel injectors. Fuel 
pressure regulator is part of the fuel pump assembly, which keeps fuel supplied to the fuel 
injectors is under specified pressure. This vehicle fuel system has no fuel return system. 

1. Fuel 

Tank 

Fuel tank is made from high-density polypropylene vinyl and other materials. Two metal straps 
attached to the underbody are used to fasten it in place. And it has a fuel vapor ventilation valve 
with roll-over protection function. 

2.  Fuel Tank Filling Cap 

Note: In the need for replacing the fuel tank filler cap, use a fuel tank filler cap with the same 
function as the original one. If the fuel tank filler cap is not correctly installed, it could cause 
serious fuel system faults. 

The fuel tank filling tube filler cover is equipped with a screw thread structure, which allows air 
coming in once it is turned loose. It uses the structure of the ratchet in order to prevent 
over-tightening. Ventilation function means the fuel tank internal pressure can be released before 
dismantling the cap from the vehicle. Instructions are attached to the cap. The filler cap also 
integrates a security vacuum pressure limiting valve. 

3. Fuel 

Pump 

Electric fuel pump is a modular fuel turbo pump located inside the fuel tank. Electric fuel pump is 
controlled by the engine control module (ECM) through the fuel pump relay. Electric fuel pump 
will start providing fuel 2s in advance to ensure that the fuel pressure achieve the requirements of 
the normal system operation. The fuel pump resistance range is 0.2~3.0 Ω. This model comes with 
electric fuel pump fuel storage in order to prevent the fuel level too low or provide fuel supply in 
harsh operating conditions. 

4.  Fuel Pressure Regulator Assembly 

Fuel pressure regulator is integrated in the fuel pump assembly. Fuel pressure regulator's main 
function is to regulate the fuel pipe fuel flow and to control the fuel injectors pressure. When the 
ignition switch is at ON position and the engine is shut down, the system fuel pressure should be 
about 400 kPa. 

5.  Electric Fuel Pump Filter 

As a coarse filter, the filter has the following features: 

– Filters 

the 

pollutants. 

– 

Improves the electric pump service life. 

If the pump output pressure is found too low, clean or replace the filter. 

6. Fuel 

Filter 

Assembly 

Fuel Filter Assembly is located at the left side of the underbody and fixed to the vehicle chassis. 
The filter consists of paper filter element, which can filter the particles in the fuel may damage the 
fuel system part. Fuel filter can withstand maximum fuel system pressure, temperature changes 
and fuel additive effect. 

7.  Fuel Level Sensor Assembly 

Fuel level sensor consists of a fuel level float, a wire arm harness assembly. The fuel level sensor 
is fixed to the fuel tank. According to the location, the sliding chip provides variable resistance to 
the combination instrument circuit. The resistance range is 40~250 Ω. Circuit wiring harness leads
