5 AIR CLEANER, FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FILTER

5.1　Electric fuel pump, fuel filter and lines
●General description
The main components of the fuel system are fuel tank ， electric fuel pump and
fuel filter and it includes three lines: fuel feed line, fuel return line and fuel vapor line.
1. Electric fuel pump（fig.5-1）
1. Electric fuel pump 2. Fuel level gauge float

Fig.5-1
The electric fuel pump feeds fuel from the fuel tank to the engine, and supplies
enough fuel pressure and fuel.
The fuel pump is vane pump driven by direct current motor, and the supplier of
fuel pump is UAES. It is fixed in the fuel tank, and dipped in the fuel, and cooled and
lubricated by the fuel. The battery supplies power to the pump by pump relay, and the
relay can switch on the pump circuit only when engine starting and running. So when
the engine stops by accident, the pump stops automatically.
There is fuel level sensor on the pump, and it can measure the level of the fuel
in fuel tank. The pump is installed in the fuel tank, and this mode makes the fuel feed
system simple, and it is difficult that the vapor lock and the fuel leakage occur. The
pump is installed by flexible mount, and it can reduce the vibration to transfer to the

pump.The electric fuel pump can work only when there is enough fuel in the fuel tank.
If there isn’t fuel in the fuel tank, the pump will burn out due to poor cooling.
Therefore, when the engine running or the vehicle moving, there must be enough fuel
in the fuel tank. The filled fuel is not less than eight litres when the car is filled for the
first time or the fuel in the fuel tank is fully run out in order to keep the level of the
fuel in the fuel tank over the level of the inlet of the reserve cup. Then the inlet of the
pump in the reserve cup is dipped in the fuel fully, the vehicle can start successfully.
2. Fuel filter（fig. 5-2）

The fuel filter is fixed on the inner side of right member.

The fuel comes in the fuel filter from inlet, pass through the filter element and
then enter the fuel feed line to the engine through the outlet. The fuel filter is of
cartridge type, and does not permit disassembly. The diameter of the filter inlet is same
as the outlet, the material of the filter case is metal, and the filter case is welded to
whole body at the middle flange.

●Removal and installation
1） Notice
Before attempting service of any type on the fuel system, the following cautions
should be always observed.
(1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
(2) Do not smoke and place “NO SMOKING” signs near work area.
(3) Be sure to have CO2 fire extinguisher handy.
(4) Wear safety glasses.
(5) To release the fuel vapor pressure in fuel tank, remove the fuel filler cap from
fuel filler neck and then reinstall it. If the pressure in fuel tank is not released
beforehand, the fuel in fuel tank may come out from the fuel hoses due to the
pressure when they are disconnected.
2）Operations
◇Electric fuel pump
·Removal
a) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
b) Remove the fuel filler cap from fuel filler neck to release the fuel vapor
pressure in fuel tank. After releasing, reinstall the cap.
c) Raise the vehicle.
d) Disconnect cable at electric fuel pump.
e) Drain the fuel by removing the drain plug.
f) Disconnect the fuel feed hose, fuel return hose, fuel vapor hose and ventilation
hose of fuel filler neck on fuel tank from connecting metallic pipes and canister
joint, and drain the remaining fuel into a vessel.
Caution
Recheck whether all hoses and cables have been removed
or not before removing the fuel tank.
g) Remove the fuel tank.

h) Disconnect the inlet hose, outlet hose, return hose and vapor hose on electric
fuel pump.

i) When removing the fuel pump, remove the nuts, and take down the retainer
and then take out the fuel pump from the fuel tank.
●Inspection
a）Check the electric fuel pump
After the fuel pump taken out, dip it into gasoline (must be in fire protection
environment), and switch on the power (voltage range: 6~ 13V). Caution: “1” connect
to the positive terminal of fuel pump, and “4” connect to the negative terminal of fuel
pump, and visually inspect whether the fuel comes out from the outlet hose or not. If
the fuel pump is operational, the fuel comes out, and otherwise the fuel pump is faulty.
b）Check the fuel level sensor
After taking out the fuel pump, use multimeter and turn to “ohm” position.
Connect the positive cable and negative cable of multimeter to the corresponding “2”
terminal and “3” terminal on the flange of fuel pump, Move the float rod slowly and at
the same speed along the float movement direction. Normally, the resistance values
should be displayed continuously and variously on multimeter, otherwise it is faulty.
·Installation
It is the reverse procedures as removal. At first install the electric fuel pump(with
gasket) to the fuel tank, and then install the retainer, and tighten the nuts following the
specified torque.
◇Fuel filter
·Removal
1. Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap from fuel filler neck to release the fuel vapor
pressure in fuel tank. After releasing, reinstall the cap.
3. Disconnect the inlet and outlet hoses from fuel filter.
4. Remove the fuel filter assembly(with bracket) from vehicle.
·Installation
（1）Install the fuel filter assembly(with bracket) to vehicle.
（2）Connect the inlet and outlet hoses to fuel filter.
（3）Connect negative cable at battery.
（4）After installing, start engine and check the fuel hoses for leaks.
Caution
Be sure that inlet and outlet must be connected correctly
when installing fuel filter, mark “IN” is inlet and mark “OUT”
is outlet.
◇Fuel tank
·Removal
Follow the removal procedures of electric fuel pump.
·Purging
Caution
This purging procedure will not remove all fuel vapor. Do not attempt
any repair on tank where heat or flame is required, as an explosion resulting
in personal injury could occur.
（1）After removing the fuel tank, remove all hoses and electric fuel pump.

（2）Drain all remaining fuel from tank.

（3）Move tank to flushing area.
（4）Fill tank with warm water or tap water, and agitate vigorously and drain. Repeat
this washing until the inside of tank is clean. Replace the tank if the inside is
rusty.
（5）Completely flush out remaining water after washing.
·Installation
Follow the reserve procedures of removal.
Notice
（1）Make sure to connect hoses to pipes correctly.
（2）Make sure all hoses are secure.
（3）After installing, start engine and check the couplers for leaks.
●On car service
（1）Fuel lines
Caution
As the fuel feed pressure is 0.3Mpa(3 atmospheric pressures), the fuel feel and fuel
return hoses must use anti-cracking rubber hose, and the fuel hoses must be fastened
by clamps, and regularly check the fuel hoses for leaks. When check the fuel lines,
prohibit disconnecting the fuel rail inlet and outlet hoses and then start the engine for
checking the fuel pump, otherwise the draining fuel can bring fire.
Visually inspect the fuel lines for evidence of fuel leakage, hose cracking and
deterioration, or damage. Make sure all clamps are secure. The tightening torque for
fuel hose clamps is 3.5~4N.m.
Repair for leaks. Correct the malconditioned hose connections and clamp fixing.
Replace the damaged hoses.
Caution
Repair for leaks on condition that the engine and the electric fuel pump
must stop running .
5.2 Emission control system
◇Fuel vapor control system

The principle is shown in figure 5-3. This system serves to reduce the amount
of fuel evaporative emission （ HC ） to be released into the atmosphere. The
vapor generated in the fuel tank while driving or the engine at a stop enters the
charcoal canister where the charcoal absorbs and stores the fuel vapor. While the
engine is running, the canister electromagnetic valve is opened depending on
outside case (such as engine idle speed) and the fuel vapor stored in the canister
is drawn into the intake manifold together with fresh air to be burned. While the
engine is not running, the fuel vapor is stored in the canister.
