A damper (2) is located on the inlet elbow of the fuel manifold (19). The damper (2) reduces the shock loads that are caused by the injection pumps. Some of the fuel in the fuel manifold is constantly sent through a restriction orifice (3). This removes air from the system. This restriction keeps the fuel pressure high. The restriction also controls the amount of fuel that goes back to the fuel tank through the fuel return line (5).

(17) The fuel outlet line from the transfer pump and the inlet line to the main filters. (18) The nut for a fuel injection line at the injection pump. (19) The fuel manifold across the injection pump housing. (20) Adapter through the valve cover base.
The fuel priming pump (8) is used to fill the system with fuel. The fuel priming pump also removes air from the low pressure side of the fuel system. The low pressure side of the fuel system consist of the fuel filter, the fuel lines and components.

The fuel transfer pump has a bypass valve and a check valve. The bypass valve controls the maximum pressure of the fuel. The extra fuel goes to the inlet of the pump. The check valve allows the fuel from the tank to go around the transfer pump gears when the priming pump is used.

The rotation of the cams on the camshaft (12) cause the lifters (9) and the pump plungers (5) to move up and down. The stroke of each pump plunger is always the same length. The force of the springs (6) hold the lifters (9) against the cams of the camshaft.The pump housing is in a shape of a V. The shape is similar
