 FUEL SYSTEM
SYSTEMS OPERATION
FUEL FLOW THRU INJECTOR

15. Drilled passage. 16. Cylinder head. 17. Cylinder.
Check each engine installation for an excess fuel
flow based on fuel consumed (used for combustion).
Minimum flow is three times the amount of fuel
consumed. Excess fuel is then returned to the fuel tank,
not back to the pump inlet. This will make sure that any
air in the system will be removed before the fuel is sent
back to the injectors.

valve (2). The orifice is used as a syphon break when
the fuel filters are changed. This keeps the fuel lines and
manifolds from being drained and the use of fuel priming
pump (4) is not normally needed. The fuel priming pump
must be used when the lines are dry. For example: after
an overhaul or other major fuel system work.

line.
Only part of the fuel in the chamber is used for injection.
Approximately 4/2 times as much fuel as needed for
normal combustion flows through the chamber to a
drilled passage in the left side of the cylinder head. This
passage is connected by outlet fuel line (13) to the
bottom section of the fuel manifold. This constant flow of
fuel around the injectors helps to cool them.
The fuel flows back through the bottom section
of each fuel manifold to pressure regulating valve (2), on
the front of the right fuel manifold. The fuel flows
through this valve and then back to the tank.
