Fuel supply line Pressure (-1.5 to 0 PSI)

Measurement: Pressure measured at quick coupling of fuel supply line on primer pump.
Tooling: T-shaped adapter (Kit P/N 1903030) with the pressure gauge.
Purpose: Determine restrictions in fuel supply lines and couplings between fuel tank and primer
pump.

Fail criteria: Less than -3.6 PSI


Check for:
 Fuel line blocked or damaged
 Failure of quick-release coupling
 Tank venting not functioning
 Fuel contaminated or gelled

More than 2.2 PSI


Check for:
 Tank venting not functioning

Fail criteria: Less than -5.8 PSI


Check for:
 sieve blocked by contamination

Valve

 Above the fuel return line is the Fuel Gallery Pressure Valve. The valve is similar to the fuel
pressure control valve used on the EPA10 MX13 engine. It is on the low pressure side so it is not
subject to the same pressures as the EPA10 valve.

 On the Fuel Return Line is the Injector Leak Valve.

8
Injector Return Line Pressure (61 to 91 PSI)
Measurement: Pressure at banjo connecting injector return line to engine.
Tooling: Extended banjo, hose (Kit P/N1903030) and pressure gauge
Purpose: Pressure in return line of Fuel injectors, functioning of Injector Leak Valve
Fail criteria: Less than 61 PSI
Check for:
 Injector leak valve damaged
More than 91 PSI
Check for:
 Injector leak valve damaged
 Blocked, damaged return line
Test conditions: Engine running, no load at 1200 +/- 100 rpm

Injector Return Line Flow (10.14 oz/Min)


Measurement: Flow from injectors
Tooling: Extended banjo, hose (Kit P/N1903030) and beaker
Purpose: Injector bleed flow

Test conditions: Engine Running, no load at 1500 rpm +/- 100 rpm (Fuel rail pressure 36,260 PSI,
pressure at this pipe should be 61 to 91 PSI)
