Fuel Supply System

Diesel fuel is drawn through a water separator from the fuel tank by an engine mounted mechanical fuel pump. This pump is driven by an eccentric cam mounted on the crankshaft and puts out about 3 psi to the injection pump. A small screen type filter is located in the fuel tank at the pick-up. Diesel fuel arrives at the center inlet fitting on the injection pump after leaving the filter. A fuel return line is provided to return any excess fuel to the tank.
