20 Non-return flow fuel supply Fuel routing in engine compartment
system (RF)
In the non-return flow fuel supply system
(Returnless Fuelsystem) the fuel pressure
regulator and the fuel filter are integral with
the fuel tank. Therefore, the fuel return line
from the fuel rail in the engine compart-
ment to the fuel tank is not needed. The
surplus fuel delivered from the electric fuel
pump consequently enters the fuel tank
directly from the pressure regulator. Only
the fuel quantity injected from the injection
valves is delivered to the fuel rail in the
engine compartment. Dispensing with the
return line has the advantage that no fuel
warmed in the engine compartment returns
to the fuel tank thereby raising the tem-
perature in the fuel tank. This results in a
further decrease in hydrocarbon emissions
(HC) in the fuel tank and also less strain on
the tank ventilation.
Tasks such as checking fuel pressure,
holding pressure and delivery rate of fuel
pump and any special tools requirements
are described in the Technical Manual.
2070 Control unit for the demand control
of fuel delivery rate (EKPSM)
Only Carrera 4 cars for the USA have an
additional electronic control unit installed
below the fuel tank cover located between
the fuel pump relay and the fuel pump.
This allows reduction of the fuel pump de-
livery rate during low fuel consumption,
which also reduces the warming of fuel in
the fuel tank. Activation of the electronic 2_06_02
fuel pump control module (EKPSM) through
the Motronic ME 7.8 is carried out via an A – Fuel supply (system pressure 3.8 bar)
earth switched PWN signal with a frequency 1 – Connection for pressure test
of 10 Hz. This realises an engine-speed-
dependent, two-stage control. Up to ap-
prox. 2000 rpm the delivery rate is reduced
to approx. 50 l/h. At a higher engine speed
the delivery rate is increased to approx. 80
l/h.
