The fuel supply system must provide the fuel injectors with
an adequate quantity of filtered fuel from the fuel tank, and
at an adequate pressure (injection pressure), in all
operating conditions.
Function
The fuel pump in the delivery module (88) draws the fuel
out of the right chamber in the fuel tank (75) and pumps it
through the fuel filter with integrated diaphragm pressure
regulator (55/1) to the injectors connected to the rail (17)
(single-line system).
The fuel in the left chamber is pumped along a connecting
line with a suction spray pump to the right chamber.

The diaphragm pressure regulator regulates the fuel

pressure to approx. 3.7-4.1 bar. The fuel pressure is
regulated irrespective of the intake manifold pressure.
When the throttle is depressed sharply, fuel supply is
assured by means of the acceleration enrichment. The
large-volume fuel rail (17) prevents the formation of vapor
bubbles.
Excess fuel flows back from the diaphragm pressure
regulator in the fuel filter through the left closing plate
(89/1) to the fuel tank (75).
Air is admitted to the diaphragm pressure
regulator in the fuel filter by means of a hose line (48).
The fuel injectors operated by the ME-SFI control module,
spray the finely atomized fuel into the inlet port.
