Chrysler 3 3 Fuel System Components
The Chrysler 3.3 engine has been used in a variety of automobiles, from vans to trucks and small passenger vehicles. Its accompanying fuel system has been improved several times over the years and can vary greatly depending on the particular vehicle. With these differences in mind, there are several fuel components that remain the same in all vehicle types, providing the 3.3 engine with power and performance.
Fuel Injection System
When the 3.3 engine was first introduced in 1990, it featured a fuel injection system. This improved acceleration and engine performance in the Chrysler Town & Country, the Dodge Caravan, Chrysler New Yorker and Chrysler Imperial. The fuel injection system includes a fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, fuel sensors and an engine control module. Fuel injection eliminates the need for a carburetor in the Chrysler 3.3 s fuel system.
Improved Intake System
Improved fuel intake goes along with the fuel injection system, which increased the Chrysler 3.3s horsepower. A variable intake system was implemented in 2001 which further increased horsepower and torque. This system functions by varying the length of the intake tract which can also improve fuel economy. Gas mileage is particularly important for family vehicles which may end up on the lower end of miles per gallon ratings, such as minivans.
Fuel Tank and Filters
The type of gas tank in the Chrysler 3.3 engine depends on the model of vehicle. For larger Chrysler vehicles, such as minivans, the gas tank size can be as large as 20 gallons. With smaller models, like the Chrysler Concorde, fuel tanks top out at 17 gallons. Each gas tank has fuel lines which feed into the vehicles fuel injection system, along with fuel filters to keep debris and other large particles from entering the engine and causing damage.
