Section VIII. UNIT MAINTENANCE OF THE ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM
4-27
GENERAL. This section contains unit maintenance instructions for the engine fuel system. Fuel is stored in the
main fuel tank located in the generator set skid base. Two electrically driven pumps which are controlled by the day tank
fuel level and Iow fuel cutoff switch transfer the fuel from the fuel tank to the day tank Before entering the day tank the
fuel passes through the fuel strainer and primary fuel filter. From the day tank the fuel passes through the secondary
fuel filter to the fuel injection pump. The fuel injection pump forces the fuel to the injectors in the cylinder bed. Excess
fuel is returned to the day tank through the fuel return line. The entire fuel system is vented through the main fuel tank
filler cap.
