<4WD>

This fuel system is designed with consideration for
global environment protection to ensure safety at a
collision, reduce weight, and improve reliability and
quality. This system has the following features:

• A quick-joint connector of a plastic tube is used

for the fuel high-pressure hose in the engine
compartment to reduce the permeation of fuel
evaporative emission.

• The surface of under floor fuel line pipes is

coated with 1-mm thickness of resin to improve
resistance to corrosion and chipping.

• A return less fuel system eliminates returned fuel

from the engine. The heat that fuel receives from
the engine is reduced, minimising fuel tempera-
ture in the fuel tank and controlling the amount of
evaporated gas.

• The activated charcoal of fuel vapour canister is

modified for downsizing, weight saving and better
performance.

FUEL TANK

M2134001001672

The fuel tank assembly consists of components such
as a fuel pump and gauge assembly, a fuel gauge
unit, and a fuel tank, and has the following features:

• The fuel tank is mounted underneath the second

seat to improve safety at a collision.

• The fuel tank itself is made of a pre-coat galva-

nized steel sheet that contains no lead.

• The capacity of the fuel tank is 63 litres <2WD>

or 60 litres <4WD> to meet long-distance drives.

• A fuel tank safety valve, which prevents fuel leak-

age when the vehicle banks or rolls over, is
located inside the fuel tank for fewer openings
and hose bonding points on the fuel tank top sur-
face.

• A built-in fuel filter and a fuel tank suction hose

have been adopted to meet the fuel tank of a sad-
dleback shape. <4WD>

The fuel pump and gauge assembly consist of the
following components:

• Fuel pump

• Fuel gauge unit

• Fuel filter

• Fuel pressure regulator
