The fuel supply circuit is a conventional design for

unit injector diesel engines. The system consists of

the following major components that are used to

deliver low pressure fuel to the unit injectors:

Fuel tank – Thefueltankisusedtostorethefuel.

Fuel priming pump – The fuel priming pump is used

to ev acuate the air from the fuel s ystem. As the air i s

removed the system ﬁlls with fu el.

Fuel ﬁlte rs – The primary fuel ﬁlter is used to

remove abrasive material and contamination from the

fuel system that may be large enough to damage the

fuel transfer pump. The secondary fuel ﬁlter is used

to remove abrasive material and contamination as

small as two microns that could damage the injectors.

Supply lines and return lines – Supply lines an d

return lines are used to deliver the fuel to the different

components.

The purpose of the low pressure fuel supply circuit

is to supply fuel that has been ﬁltered to the fuel

injectors at a rat e that is constant and a pressure

that is constant. The fuel system is als o utilized to

cool components such as the fuel injectors and the

Electronic Control Module (ECM).

Once the injectors receive the low pressure fuel, the

fuel is pressurized again before the fuel is injected

into the cylinder. The unit injector uses mechanical

energy that is provided by the camshaft to achieve

pressures that can be in excess of 200000 kPa

(30000 psi).

Control of the fuel delivery is managed by the

engine’s ECM. Data from several of the engine

systems is collected by the ECM and processed

in order to manage these aspects of fuel injection

control:

•

Injection timing

•

Fuel in jection timing advanc e
