INTRODUCTION
The TDV6 3.0L diesel engine low pressure fuel system is designed to supply
fuel to the high pressure pump, it can supply a uniform level of pressure to
the common rails which supply's the fuel injectors.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
1 Fuel Pump Module Tank Flange
2 Fuel Tank
Inside the fuel tank, you will find the location of the low pressure fuel pump
module assembly.
Access to the fuel tank is via the removal of the rear seat base and removal
of the low pressure pump module flange located on the right side of the
tank.
Within the fuel tank in the upper left side center section, a fuel cut-off elbow
is positioned. This is to control the fuel fill volume of the tank. During the
Refueling process, air/vapor is displaced (by the fuel entering the tank) and
exits the tank via the cut-off elbow and is conveyed by the fuel tank
Refueling breather pipe to exit the system. During filling, as the tank
reaches its full level, the fuel cut-off elbow is closed by the rising fuel and
prevents air/vapor passing through to the Refueling breather pipe. The
resulting back pressure causes Refueling to stop automatically.
The fuel cut-off elbow is always open when the fuel tank is below full,
providing an unrestricted air/vapor outlet to the Refueling breather pipe.
Fuel level inside the tank is monitored by two level sensors that are
connected top the instrument cluster.
ITEM DESCRIPTION
6 Venturi Pump
7 Swirl Pot
The fuel pump module is controlled by the ECM (engine control module) via
the fuel pump relay located in the RJB (rear junction box).
The electric pump collects fuel from the swirl pot at the base of the pump
and passes it from the tank to the fuel supply line to the engine mounted,
high pressure pump at a pressure of 0.5 bar.
Fuel is collected from the left side of the tank to the right side of the tank
by using a single suction tube that transfers the fuel using a venturi pump
which is powered by the fuel feed from the fuel pump.
This could result in incorrect fuel gauge readings if the fuel tank has been
drained and not filled with exactly the same quantity of fuel that was
removed.
A misfire is induced with increasing magnitude when the fuel in the tank
reaches approximately 2.5 liters of useable fuel remaining to alert the driver
to this condition. The engine is shut down when the fuel in the tank reaches
0.00 liters of useable fuel remaining in the tank and 4.0 liters of un-useable
fuel remaining.
There are two fuel level sensors located inside the fuel tank. One sensor is
attached to the swirl pot and monitors fuel level on the right side of the
tank. The second sensor is attached to the suction pipe carrier and monitors
fuel level on the left side of the tank.
Both level sensors are MAPPS (magnetic passive position sensor) which
provide a variable resistance to ground for the output from the fuel gauge.
The electrical output signal is proportional to the amount of fuel in the tank
and the position of the float arm. The measured resistance is processed by
the instrument cluster to implement an anti-slosh function. This monitors the
signal and updates the fuel gauge pointer position at regular intervals,
preventing constant pointer movement caused by fuel movement in the
tank due to cornering or braking.
NOTE:
These figures are with the vehicle on level ground. Sensor readings
will defer with varying vehicle inclinations.

When the fuel level becomes low, a fuel warning lamp in the instrument
cluster is illuminated and message is displayed.
The fuel level sender signal is converted into a CAN (controller area
network) message by the IC (instrument cluster) as a direct interpretation of
the fuel tank contents in liters.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
The fuel filter is disposable canister that has four quick release connections.
The fuel filter is fitted with a removable water sensor which is secured at the
base of the filter. The sensor can be unscrewed and fitted to a new filter.
The water in fuel sensor housing also incorporates a water drain plastic turn
wheel that allows the water/fuel mix to be drained from the filter via the
drain hose to the underside of the vehicle.
Water in the fuel filter is sensed by the ECM, the ECM transmits a message
on the HS (high speed) CAN powertrain bus to the IC (instrument cluster)
which displays a message 'WATER IN FUEL' in the message center.
FUEL COOLER
ITEM DESCRIPTION
The fuel cooler is designed to cool fuel returning from the high pressure
pump before it is sent back to the fuel tank via the return line. Fuel is cooled
by heat transfer through the internal galleries within the coolant assisted
fuel cooler.
The fuel cooler is connected to the cooling system. The fuel cooler receives
cooled coolant from a dedicated cooler located in front of the engine
coolant radiator. This allows for engine coolant to be cooled before it
passes through the fuel cooler improving the efficiency of the fuel cooler.
ITEM DESCRIPTION
1 Fuel Cap
The fuel filler pipe locates into the tank and incorporates a spit back flap in
the tank end of the pipe. The flap is spring loaded cover which acts as a one
way valve, allowing the tank to be filled but preventing fuel leaving the tank
into the filler pipe.
A connection at the top right side of the filler head allows for the
connection of the fuel tank Refueling breather pipe.
The filler pipe incorporates a fuel guard system to prevent accidental filling
of the tank with petrol.
FUEL GUARD
ITEM DESCRIPTION
1 Filler neck
2 Flap
3 Reset slots
4 Spigots
5 Reset tool
6 Spring
The passive fuel guard system comprises a mechanically operated flap which
is triggered when the smaller diameter filler nozzle tube, used on petrol
(gasoline) pumps, is inserted in the filler neck. The shut off flap is actuated
and blocks the sensor port on the fuel pump nozzle, causing it to
automatically switch off. The shut off flap is locked in this position by a latch
mechanism, once it has been activated.
A reset tool is provided and stored within the vehicle. The tool is used to
reset the fuel guard device if triggered. The tool is inserted into the filler
opening as far as possible with the spigots pointing upper most. Once the
two spigots on the tool are located in the slots it can be pulled outwards,
releasing a latch and allowing the shut off flap to be opened by its own
spring pressure.
The shut off flap is colored yellow so that it is clearly visible within the
entrance of the fuel filler pipe when activated, the shut off flap has a
'Handbook' symbol on it.
A 25mm diameter diesel fuel pump nozzle will not activate the fuel guard
because the nozzle stops against two molded lugs. However, if a 21mm
diameter unleaded gasoline pump nozzle is inserted into the housing, its
smaller diameter allows it to pass the two molded lugs. The nozzle strikes
two pins on the inside of the filler housing which move forward. This
movement rotates the shut-off flap which is then held in place when the
nozzle is removed by the latch mechanism.
NOTE:
Russian markets do not use the fuel guard system and are fitted with
a conventional filler neck.

WARNINGS:
Do NOT carry out any work on the fuel system with the engine
running. The fuel pressure within the system can be as high as 2000
bar (29,008 lb/in²). Failure to follow this instruction may result in
personal injury.
After carrying out repairs, the fuel system must be checked visually
for leaks. This should be done after the engine has been run, but
with the engine switched OFF. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in personal injury.
If fuel contacts the eyes, flush the eyes with cold water or eyewash
solution and seek medical attention. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
CAUTIONS:
The fuel pipes between the injectors and the rail must be discarded
after each use, and new pipes installed. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in damage to the vehicle.
Make sure that the workshop area in which the vehicle is being
worked on is as clean and dust-free as possible. Areas in which
work on clutches, brakes or where welding or machining are carried
out are not suitable in view of the risk of contamination to the fuel
system. Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to
the vehicle.
Make sure that any protective clothing worn is clean and made
from lint-free non-flocking material. Failure to follow this instruction
may result in damage to the vehicle.
Make sure that any protective gloves worn are new and are of the
non-powdered latex type. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in damage to the vehicle.
Make sure that clean, non-plated tools are used. Clean tools using a
new brush that will not lose it's bristles and fresh cleaning fluid prior
to starting work on the vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in damage to the vehicle.
