Section X. MAINTENANCE OF CARRIER ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM
4-22.
General
The carrier engine fuel system consists of the fuel tank,
fuel transfer tank assembly, fuel filters, fuel pump,
injector supply and drain lines, and injectors. Fuel flows
from the fuel tank to the fuel transfer tank where the fuel
level is controlled by a float and valve to prevent flooding
of the engine when the start switch is in the "ON" position
and the engine not running, or if the solenoid controlled
fuel shut-down valve should leak. The fuel pump draws
fuel from the fuel transfer tank through the fuel filter and
delivers it to the injectors under controlled pressure. The
injectors receive the low-pressure fuel from the pump
and deliver it into the combustion chambers.
