(A) Fuel tankFuel is drawn from the fuel tank by an electric fuel transfer pump that is located in the primary and secondary fuel filter base.When the fuel flows to the primary and secondary fuel filter base, the fuel flows through a primary fuel filter/water separator. From the primary fuel filter/water separator, the fuel flows to the electric fuel transfer pump. From the electric fuel transfer pump, the fuel flows to the secondary fuel filter.The fuel may flow to a fuel cooled ECM.The fuel flows from the secondary fuel filter to a pressure regulator. A pressure regulator that is installed in the low-pressure fuel system controls the fuel pressure to the fuel injection pump. The pressure regulator regulates the fuel at a pressure of 150 kPa (22 psi) when the engine is at idle speed.From the pressure regulator, the fuel flows to the fuel injection pump. The fuel is pumped at an increased pressure of 200 MPa (29000 psi) to the fuel manifold (rail).Fuel that has too high a pressure from the fuel manifold (rail) returns through the electronic pressure relief valve to the return line. Fuel that is leak off from the electronic unit injectors flows to the return line. The fuel may then flow through an optional fuel cooler on the way back to the fuel tank.High-Pressure Fuel System

Typical example
(1) Fuel injection pump
(2) Fuel temperature sensor
(3) Suction control valve for the fuel injection pump
(4) Fuel pressure sensor
(5) Electronic unit injector
(6) Fuel manifold (rail)
(7) Electronic pressure relief valve
(8) Fuel transfer pumpThe fuel injection pump (1) feeds fuel to the high-pressure fuel manifold (rail) (6). The fuel is at a pressure of 200 MPa (29000 psi). A pressure sensor (4) in the high-pressure fuel manifold (rail) (6) monitors the fuel pressure in the high-pressure fuel manifold (rail) (6). The ECM controls a suction control valve (3) in the fuel injection pump (1) to maintain the actual pressure in the high-pressure fuel manifold (6) at the desired level. The high-pressure fuel is continuously available at each injector. The ECM determines the correct time for activation of the correct electronic unit injector (5) which allows fuel to be injected into the cylinder. The leakoff fuel from each injector passes into a drilling which runs along the inside of the cylinder head. A pipe is connected to the rear of the cylinder head to return the leakoff fuel to the fuel tank.Components of the Fuel Injection System

Secondary fuel filterThe primary filter/water separator (1) is supplied with water in fuel sensor (4).The secondary fuel filter (3) is located after the primary fuel filter (1) and the electric fuel transfer pump (2).Fuel Pump Assembly
Illustration 4 g06411705
Typical example
The fuel pump assembly consists of a low-pressure transfer pump and a high-pressure fuel injection pump. The pump assembly is driven from a gear in the front timing case at engine speed. The fuel injection pump (1) has two plungers that are driven by a camshaft. The fuel injection pump (1) delivers a volume of fuel two times for each revolution. The stroke of the plungers are fixed.The injector will use only part of the fuel that is delivered by each stroke of the pistons in the pump. The suction control valve (2) for the fuel injection pump (1) is controlled by the ECM. This maintains the fuel pressure in the fuel manifold (rail) at the correct level. A feature of the fuel injection pump (1) allows fuel to return to the tank continuously.The fuel temperature sensor (3) measures the temperature of the fuel. The ECM receives the signal from the fuel temperature sensor (3). The ECM calculates the volume of fuel.The fuel injection pump has the following operation:
Generation of high-pressure fuelThe fuel output of the fuel injection pump is controlled by the ECM in response to changes in the demand of fuel pressure.Shutoff
The engine shuts off by preventing the electronic unit injectors from injecting. The ECM then closes the suction control valve to prevent the pressure in the fuel manifold (rail) from increasing. The ECM can release excess pressure through the electronic pressure relief valve.Control
