Scheme 546

Scheme 546: Suction jet pump, function

1 - Left suction jet pump

  1. The fuel tank in a vehicle with all-wheel drive is divided into a left and right chamber.
  2. To move the volume of fuel from the left fuel tank chamber to right baffle housing - 8 - of the fuel delivery unit, a suction jet pump - 1 - is utilized.
  3. A second suction jet pump - 7 - is positioned in the right fuel tank chamber and improves fuel supply to the baffle housing of the fuel delivery unit.
  4. Function of the suction jet pumps is based on a simple physical principle: A suction jet from the fuel return line - 3 - is compressed by a nozzle in the suction jet pumps - 1 - and - 7 - and is thereby accelerated. This acceleration causes the surrounding fuel to be drawn in and be forced to the baffle housing of the fuel delivery unit. The right suction jet pump - 7 - delivers directly into the baffle housing, the left suction jet pump - 1 - via a separate line - 4 -.
  1. The fuel from the return line is distributed to both suction jet pumps via the Y-fitting - 2 -. The distribution piece - 6 - limits the pressure in the lines to the suction jet pumps to approx. 1 bar. Excess fuel is guided into the baffle housing via a direct line.

1 - Left suction jet pump

  1. The fuel tank in a vehicle with all-wheel drive is divided into a left and right chamber.
  2. To move the volume of fuel from the left fuel tank chamber to the right baffle housing - 8 - of the fuel delivery unit, a suction jet pump - 1 - is utilized.
  3. A second suction jet pump - 7 - is positioned in the right fuel tank chamber and improves the fuel supply to the baffle housing of the fuel delivery unit.
  4. Function of the suction jet pumps is based on a simple physical principle: A suction jet from the fuel return line - 3 - is compressed by a nozzle in the suction jet pumps - 1 - and - 7 - and is thereby accelerated. This acceleration causes the surrounding fuel to be drawn in and be forced to the baffle housing of the fuel delivery unit. The right suction jet pump - 7 - delivers directly into the baffle housing, the left suction jet pump - 1 - via a separate line - 4 -.
  1. The fuel from the return line is distributed to both suction jet pumps via the Y-fitting - 2 -. The distribution piece - 6 - limits the pressure in the lines to the suction jet pumps to approx. 1 bar. Excess fuel is guided into the baffle housing via a direct line.

Scheme 573

Scheme 573: Suction jet pump

The fuel tank in a vehicle with all-wheel drive is divided into a left and right chamber. To move the volume of fuel from the left fuel tank chamber - 3 - to the right baffle housing of the fuel delivery unit - 2 - , a suction jet pump - 1 - is utilized.

Function of suction jet pump

Function of the suction jet pump is based on a simple physical principle: A suction jet from the electrical fuel pump is compressed by a nozzle in the suction jet pump and is thereby accelerated. This acceleration causes the surrounding fuel to be drawn in and be forced to the baffle housing of the fuel delivery unit.

Malfunctions of faulty suction jet pump

CAUTIONIf suction jet pump is faulty, the vehicle can stop running due to lack of fuel, though the fuel tank is up to 1 / 4 filled.

If suction jet pump does not function, up to 20 liters of fuel (up to approx. 1 / 4 tank) remain in left chamber of fuel tank, because it can not be extracted by the fuel delivery unit.

If vehicle stops running, although the fuel tank is approx. 1 / 4 filled, proceed as follows

  1. Check fuel pump --> «Fuel pump electrical, checking»(/audi/a4/b6-2000-2006/remont/fuel-system/#fuel-supply-system) .

If fuel pump is OK, but no fuel is supplied

  1. Fill fuel tank with approx. 5 liters of fuel.
  2. Start engine.

If engine starts now

  1. Replace suction jet pump --> «Suction jet pump, removing and installing»(/audi/a4/b6-2000-2006/remont/fuel-system/#fuel-supply-system__suction-jet-pump-removing-and-installing) .

Leak detection system

Function

The leak detection system recognizes leaks in the complete fuel system, including the fuel tank, EVAP canister and Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve N80.

On the mechanical side, the leak detection system consists mainly of a vacuum-driven diaphragm pump, that is equipped with a reed contact on the actuation rod of the pump diaphragm. The pump is supplied with vacuum via the engine intake stroke.

  1. When leak detection is activated, the diaphragm pump pumps the fuel system up to 20 to 30 mbar. The pump membrane is then moved outward, thereby setting the reed contact at the actuation rod to the "open" position.
  2. During leak diagnosis, the reed contact is monitored to check if it remains open within 15 seconds. This indicates the system is sealed.
  3. If pressure falls (indicating a leak), the diaphragm moves back and the reed contact closes.
  4. If reed contact closes within 15 seconds of leak detection time, a further test is performed: In this case the diaphragm pump pumps 4 times again. The engine control module (ECM) measures the time for each of the 4 pumps until the reed contact is closed again. From that, the control module can recognize a "small leak" (smaller than 1 mm in diameter) or a "large leak".

Leak diagnostic is activated automatically shortly following every engine start. If a malfunction is determined, an entry is made to the DTC memory. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) in the instrument cluster lights up if the malfunction is recognized for 2 subsequent starts. Leak diagnosis can also be activated using the vehicle diagnosis, test and information system VAS 5051 A --> Diagnostic leak test, performing .

Automatic leak detection system

With the engine running, the engine control module may perform a leak diagnosis at specific intervals.

It can be determined if an automatic leak diagnosis was recently performed by using the vehicle diagnosis, test and information system VAS 5051 A in measuring value block 071 --> Diagnostic leak test, performing .
