Fuel is pumped by the fuel feed pump (1) via the tank (2), the prefilter (4), water trap (5) in to the filter head (3). The n it is
pumped on through the engine control unit's cooling circuit (6) to the overflow valve (7). There fue l from the tank is mixed with
fuel from the return line (8) and continues to the suction side of the fuel feed pump (1).
The fuel feed pump pumps the fuel via the fuel filter head (3), through the primary filter (9), to the cylinder head's fuel channel
(8). The injectors (10) are supplied with fuel from the channel (8) via a ring - shaped passage around each injector in the cyl inder
head. The pressure in the unit pumps is controlled in the overflow valve.
Valves in fuel feed pump
The fuel feed pump has two valves:

¡ The safety valve (11), which allows fuel to flow back to the suction side when the fuel pressure be comes too high, e.g.,
in case of clogged filter.
¡ The non- return valve (12), which opens when the hand pump on the filter head (13) is used.

utomatic bleeding of fuel system

If air has entered the system, then automatic bleeding of the fuel system will take place when the engine is started.
Air is forced through the breather valve (14) down to the tank via the fuel return line (15) from the cylinder head.
When replacing filter, check air bleeding of valves 19, 25 and 14 in the filter head.
Manual hand pump
The manual hand pump (13) is located in the filter head. It is used to pump fuel when the fuel sys tem is empty and the engi ne is
off. The non - return valve (24) for the hand pump is located in the filter head.
Manual water drain
The 'water in fuel' sensor (16) will, via the engine control unit, indicate on the operator's pane l when the water trap (5) has to be
drained manually via the drain valve (18).
Software
Fuel level
This function monitors fuel level in the fuel tank and informs the operator if the level is too lo w or if there is a system
malfunction.
Fuel for approximately 1 hour of operation remains after low fuel level is indicated.
