FUEL SYSTEM
FUEL TANK. Contains diesel fuel for operation of the engine. Holds approximately 27 gallons (102L) of fuel, enough for
10 hours of operation.
SHUT-OFF VALVE. Blocks the flow of diesel fuel from the fuel tank to the fuel lift pump when the valve handle is parallel
to the side of the fuel tank. The valve handle must be perpendicular to the tank for normal fuel flow.
WATER SEPARATOR. Removes moisture from the fuel.
FUEL LIFT PUMP. Pulls fuel from the fuel tank through the water separator, and sends it through the fuel filters to the fuel
injection pump. Mechanically operated by the engine camshaft.
FUEL FILTERS. Removes dirt or other contaminants from the fuel before it reaches the fuel injection pump.
FUEL INJECTION PUMP. Pressurizes the diesel fuel and sends an exact amount of fuel to the fuel injector nozzles.
Controls sequence and timing of cylinder combustion.
FUEL INJECTOR NOZZLE. Turns the stream of fuel into a fine spray which permits good combustion in the cylinder.
There is one nozzle for each cylinder.
AIR CLEANER. Removes dirt and dust from intake air prior to its use in combustion.
