Chapter 12: Fuel system
Fuel system with
The fuel in the tank is drawn up by the feed pump and pushed through the fuel filter to the injection pump’s fuel chamber. The feed pump supplies a greater quantity of fuel than the injection pump requires. Consequently, there is an overflow pipe on the injection pump, which leads off surplus fuel and maintains the feed pressure in the fuel chamber. The excess is routed away via the injector’s leak oil line back to the tank.
There is a hand pump on the fuel filter, which is used to bleed the fuel system.
The injection pump pumps fuel to the injectors, which are opened by the pressure and then spray the fuel
into the prechambers, where it is ignited by theHand pump compression heat.
