Low-Pressure Gauge and Low-      Low-pressure gauge displays
Pressure Fuel Pressure              pressure of fuel on the way
Transducer                          to the engine

                                 Pressure transducer
                                    communicates pressure to
                                    engine control module

Low-Pressure Fuel Lines          Carry gas from the regulator
                                    to the fuel rail (LD) or engine
                                    (HD)

                                 Stainless steel or flexible
                                 Depends on manufacturer’s

                                    choice
                                 Can be both on the same

                                    vehicle

Low-Pressure Coalescing Filter   Filters liquids and aerosols
Low-Pressure Solenoid Valve         from gas
                                     Oil
                                     Water

                                 Also filters particulates
                                 Must be manually drained

                                    daily
                                 Failure to service can result in

                                    expensive component
                                    failures

                                 Isolates engine from the fuel
                                    system when engine is not
                                    rotating

                                 Normally closed valve
                                 Opens when it senses engine

                                    RPM

Light-Duty Fuel Rail and Fuel    Multi-port injection (MPI)
Injectors                        Inject natural gas into the

                                    engine ensuring optimal
                                    engine performance
                                 Injector flow capacity is large
