When did GM start using returnless fuel injection?
When did GM start using returnless fuel injection?
General Motors and Ford started down the returnless route in 1999, and in 2004, GM went returnless on most of its full-size pickup trucks and SUVs with the Vortec 6000 (LQ4 and LQ9) engines, including the Cadillac Escalade; Chevy Silverado, Suburban and Tahoe; the GMC Sierra and Yukon; and Hummer H2.
Why does returnless fuel injection eliminate the return line?
Unfortunately, this carries a lot of engine heat back to the fuel tank and increases evaporative fuel vapor emissions. Relocating the regulator to the fuel tank eliminates the circulation of fuel between the engine and tank so the fuel stays cooler. It also simplifies the fuel system plumbing by eliminating the return line.
