Brief description

When the engine is started, the fuel pump starts to work and sucks fuel from a container located inside the fuel tank. The fuel passes through a filter fitted to the side of the fuel tank and is lead to the engine's fuel pump.

The return fuel, i.e. the fuel that is not used, flows back to the fuel tank where it passes a negative ejector located in the fuel tank. In turn, the ejector fills the container from which the diesel pump sucks fuel. Put simply, an ejector is a cylinder with three openings, one at each end and one in the wall of the cylinder. When fuel flows through the cylinder (in at one end and out the other), negative pressure is created at the hole in the cylinder wall. The negative pressure is used to suck the fuel from the fuel tank and keep the container full.

The container, located in the fuel tank, is used to ensure the pump can obtain fuel irrespective of how much the car is inclined.

The fuel filter is located by the fuel tank. Its task is to separate impurities and water from the fuel so that the system is not damaged.
