Components

The fuel system consists of: fuel tank, fuel pump (in-tank), fuel filter, fuel injectors, fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator, fuel lines, fuel filler cap, evaporative emission system (EVAP).

Petrol & diesel vehicles

Petrol engines use port injection or direct injection (GDI). Direct injection operates at much higher pressure (150-200 bar) and injectors are more expensive to replace.

Hybrid & electric vehicles

Fully electric vehicles have no fuel system. Plug-in hybrids have a conventional fuel system plus a charging port.
