OPERATION
Fuel is returned through the fuel pump module and back into the fuel tank through the fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator. A separate fuel return line from the engine to the tank is not used.
The fuel tank assembly consists of: the fuel tank, fuel pump module assembly, fuel pump module locknut/gasket,
and fuel tank check valve (refer to Fuel Tank Check Valve for information).
A fuel filler/vent tube assembly using a pressure/vacuum, 1/4 turn fuel filler cap is used. The fuel filler tube contains
a flap door located below the fuel fill cap.
Also to be considered part of the fuel system is the evaporation control system. This is designed to reduce the
emission of fuel vapors into the atmosphere. The description and function of the Evaporative Control System is
found in Emission Control Systems.
Both fuel filters (at bottom of fuel pump module and within fuel pressure regulator) are designed for extended service. They do not require normal scheduled maintenance. Filters should only be replaced if a diagnostic procedure
indicates to do so.

FUEL FILTER/PRESSURE REGULATOR
DESCRIPTION
A combination fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator (3)
is used on all engines. It is located on the top of the
fuel pump module. A separate frame mounted fuel filter is not used with any engine.
Both fuel filters (at bottom of fuel pump module and
within fuel pressure regulator) are designed for
extended service. They do not require normal scheduled maintenance. Filters should only be replaced if a
diagnostic procedure indicates to do so.
OPERATION
Fuel Pressure Regulator Operation: The pressure regulator is a mechanical device that is not controlled by
engine vacuum or the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The regulator is calibrated to maintain fuel system operating pressure of approximately 58 ± 2 psi at the fuel injec-
tors. It contains a diaphragm, calibrated springs and a fuel return valve. The internal fuel filter is also part of the
assembly.
Fuel is supplied to the filter/regulator by the electric fuel pump through an opening tube at the bottom of filter/regulator.
The regulator acts as a check valve to maintain some fuel pressure when the engine is not operating. This will help
to start the engine. A second check valve is located at the outlet end of the electric fuel pump. Refer to Fuel Pump
- Description and Operation for more information.
If fuel pressure at the pressure regulator exceeds approximately 60 psi, an internal diaphragm opens and excess
fuel pressure is routed back into the tank through the bottom of pressure regulator.
Both fuel filters (at bottom of fuel pump module and within fuel pressure regulator) are designed for extended service. They do not require normal scheduled maintenance. Filters should only be replaced if a diagnostic procedure
indicates to do so.
SENSOR - FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT
DESCRIPTION
The fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor) is attached to the side of the fuel pump module. The sending unit
consists of a float, an arm, and a variable resistor track (card).
OPERATION
The fuel pump module has 4 different circuits (wires). Two of these circuits are used for the fuel gauge sending unit
for fuel gauge operation, and for certain OBD II emission requirements. The other 2 wires are used for electric fuel
pump operation.
For Fuel Gauge Operation: A constant current source is supplied to the resistor track on the fuel gauge sending
unit. This is fed directly from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). NOTE: For diagnostic purposes, this 12V
power source can only be verified with the circuit opened (fuel pump module electrical connector
unplugged). With the connectors plugged, output voltages will vary from about 0.6 volts at FULL, to about
8.6 volts at EMPTY (about 8.6 volts at EMPTY for Jeep models, and about 7.0 volts at EMPTY for Dodge
Truck models). The resistor track is used to vary the voltage (resistance) depending on fuel tank float level. As fuel
Page 9
DR/DHFUEL DELIVERY - GAS14 - 9
level increases, the float and arm move up, which decreases voltage. As fuel level decreases, the float and arm
move down, which increases voltage. The varied voltage signal is returned back to the PCM through the sensor
return circuit.
Both of the electrical circuits between the fuel gauge sending unit and the PCM are hard-wired (not multi-plexed).
After the voltage signal is sent from the resistor track, and back to the PCM, the PCM will interpret the resistance
(voltage) data and send a message across the multi-plex bus circuits to the instrument panel cluster. Here it is
translated into the appropriate fuel gauge level reading. Refer to Instrument Panel for additional information.
For OBD II Emission Monitor Requirements: The PCM will monitor the voltage output sent from the resistor track
on the sending unit to indicate fuel level. The purpose of this feature is to prevent the OBD II system from recording/
setting false misfire and fuel system monitor diagnostic trouble codes. The feature is activated if the fuel level in the
tank is less than approximately 15 percent of its rated capacity. If equipped with a Leak Detection Pump (EVAP
system monitor), this feature will also be activated if the fuel level in the tank is more than approximately 85 percent
of its rated capacity.
REMOVAL
The fuel level sending unit (fuel level sensor) and float
assembly (7) is located on the side of the fuel pump
module.
1. Remove fuel pump module from fuel tank. Refer to
Fuel Pump Module Removal/Installation.

WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM MAY BE UNDER A CONSTANT PRESSURE (EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF).
BEFORE SERVICING ANY FUEL SYSTEM HOSES, FITTINGS, LINES, OR MOST COMPONENTS, FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE MUST BE RELEASED. REFER TO THE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE PROCEDURE.
The lines/tubes/hoses used on fuel injected vehicles are of a special construction. This is due to the higher fuel
pressures and the possibility of contaminated fuel in this system. If it is necessary to replace these lines/tubes/
hoses, only those marked EFM/EFI may be used.
If equipped: The hose clamps used to secure rubber hoses on fuel injected vehicles are of a special rolled edge
construction. This construction is used to prevent the edge of the clamp from cutting into the hose. Only these rolled
edge type clamps may be used in this system. All other types of clamps may cut into the hoses and cause highpressure fuel leaks.
Use new original equipment type hose clamps.
FITTING, QUICK CONNECT

MODULE-FUEL PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The electric fuel pump is located inside of the fuel pump module. A 12 volt, permanent magnet, electric motor powers the fuel pump. The electric fuel pump is not a separate, serviceable component.
OPERATION
Voltage to operate the electric pump is supplied through the fuel pump relay.
Fuel is drawn in through a filter at the bottom of the module and pushed through the electric motor gearset to the
pump outlet.
Check Valve Operation: The bottom section of the fuel pump module contains a one-way check valve to prevent
fuel flow back into the tank and to maintain fuel supply line pressure (engine warm) when pump is not operational.
It is also used to keep the fuel supply line full of gasoline when pump is not operational. After the vehicle has cooled
down, fuel pressure may drop to 0 psi (cold fluid contracts), but liquid gasoline will remain in fuel supply line
between the check valve and fuel injectors. Fuel pressure that has dropped to 0 psi on a cooled down vehicle
(engine off) is a normal condition.
The electric fuel pump is not a separate, serviceable component.

TANK - FUEL
DESCRIPTION
The fuel tank is constructed of a plastic material. Its main functions are for fuel storage and for placement of the fuel
pump module, and (if equipped) certain ORVR components.
OPERATION
All models pass a full 360 degree rollover test without fuel leakage. To accomplish this, fuel and vapor flow controls
are required for all fuel tank connections.
Two check (control) valves are mounted into the top of the fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank Check Valve for additional
information.
An evaporation control system is connected to the fuel tank to reduce emissions of fuel vapors into the atmosphere.
When fuel evaporates from the fuel tank, vapors pass through vent hoses or tubes to a charcoal canister where
they are temporarily held. When the engine is running, the vapors are drawn into the intake manifold. Certain models are also equipped with a self-diagnosing system using a Leak Detection Pump (LDP) or NVLD Pump, and/or an
On-Board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR) system. Refer to Emission Control System for additional information.
REMOVAL- EXCEPT DIESEL
Fuel Tank Draining
WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM MAY BE UNDER CONSTANT FUEL PRESSURE EVEN WITH THE ENGINE
OFF. THIS PRESSURE MUST BE RELEASED BEFORE SERVICING FUEL TANK.
Two different procedures may be used to drain fuel tank: through the fuel fill fitting on tank, or using a diagnostic
scan tool to activate the fuel pump relay. Due to a one-way check valve installed into the fuel fill opening fitting at
the tank, the tank cannot be drained conventionally at the fill cap.
The quickest draining procedure involves removing the rubber fuel fill hose.
As an alternative procedure, the electric fuel pump may be activated allowing tank to be drained at fuel rail con-
nection. Refer to diagnostic scan tool for fuel pump activation procedures. Before disconnecting fuel line at fuel rail,
release fuel pressure. Refer to the Fuel System Pressure Release Procedure for procedures. Attach end of special
test hose tool number 6541, 6539, 6631 or 6923 at fuel rail disconnection (tool number will depend on model and/or
engine application). Position opposite end of this hose tool to an approved gasoline draining station. Activate fuel
pump and drain tank until empty.
If electric fuel pump is not operating, fuel must be drained through fuel fill fitting at tank. Refer to following procedures.
1. Release fuel system pressure.
2. Raise vehicle.
3. Thoroughly clean area around fuel fill fitting and rubber fuel fill hose at tank.
4. If vehicle is equipped with 4 doors and a 6 foot (short) box, remove left-rear tire/wheel.
5. Loosen clamp and disconnect rubber fuel fill hose at tank fitting. Using an approved gas holding tank, drain fuel
tank through this fitting.

INJECTOR - FUEL
DESCRIPTION
An individual fuel injector (1) is used for each individual cylinder.
Page 53
DR/DHFUEL INJECTION - GAS14 - 53
OPERATION
FUEL INJECTOR
The top (fuel entry) end of the injector (1) is attached
into an opening on the fuel rail.
The fuel injectors are electrical solenoids. The injector
contains a pintle that closes off an orifice at the nozzle
end. When electric current is supplied to the injector,
the armature and needle move a short distance
against a spring, allowing fuel to flow out the orifice.
Because the fuel is under high pressure, a fine spray
is developed in the shape of a pencil stream. The
spraying action atomizes the fuel, adding it to the air
entering the combustion chamber.
The nozzle (outlet) ends of the injectors are positioned
into openings in the intake manifold just above the
intake valve ports of the cylinder head. The engine
wiring harness connector for each fuel injector is
equipped with an attached numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.). This is used to identify each fuel injector.
The injectors are energized individually in a sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM will
adjust injector pulse width by switching the ground path to each individual injector on and off. Injector pulse width is
the period of time that the injector is energized. The PCM will adjust injector pulse width based on various inputs it
receives.
Battery voltage is supplied to the injectors through the ASD relay.
The PCM determines injector pulse width based on various inputs.
PCM OUTPUT
The nozzle ends of the injectors are positioned into openings in the intake manifold just above the intake valve ports
of the cylinder head. The engine wiring harness connector for each fuel injector is equipped with an attached
numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.). This is used to identify each fuel injector with its respective cylinder number.
The injectors are energized individually in a sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM will
adjust injector pulse width by switching the ground path to each individual injector on and off. Injector pulse width is
the period of time that the injector is energized. The PCM will adjust injector pulse width based on various inputs it
receives.
Battery voltage (12 volts +) is supplied to the injectors through the ASD relay. The ASD relay will shut-down the 12
volt power source to the fuel injectors if the PCM senses the ignition is on, but the engine is not running. This
occurs after the engine has not been running for approximately 1.8 seconds.
The PCM determines injector on-time (pulse width) based on various inputs.
3. Apply a light coating of clean engine oil to the O-ring on the nozzle end of each injector.
4. Insert fuel injector nozzles into openings in intake manifold. Seat the injectors in place. Tighten fuel rail bolts to
12 N·m (105 in. lbs.).
5. Attach electrical connectors to fuel injectors.
6. Connect the electrical connector to the MAP sensor and Coolant Temperature sensor.
7. Connect the electrical connector to the TPS and Idle Air Control.
8. Install the wiring harness to the wiring clips under the throttle body.

cover for relay location.
Page 58
14 - 58FUEL INJECTION - GASDR/DH
OPERATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) energizes the electric fuel pump through the fuel pump relay. The fuel pump
relay is energized by first applying battery voltage to it when the ignition key is turned ON, and then applying a
ground signal to the relay from the PCM.
Whenever the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump will operate. But, the PCM will shut-down the ground
circuit to the fuel pump relay in approximately 1–3 seconds unless the engine is operating or the starter motor is
engaged.

pintle on the IAC stepper motor protrudes into a passage in the throttle body, controlling air flow through
the passage. The IAC is controlled by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) to maintain the target engine
idle speed.
5.7L: A separate IAC motor is not used with the 5.7L
V-8 engine.

The idle air control motor is mounted at the front right
of the intake manifold.
OPERATION
3.7L V-6/4.7L V-8
A separate IAC motor is not used with the 5.7L V-8 engine.
At idle, engine speed can be increased by retracting the IAC motor pintle and allowing more air to pass through the
port, or it can be decreased by restricting the passage with the pintle and diminishing the amount of air bypassing
the throttle plate.
The IAC is called a stepper motor because it is moved (rotated) in steps, or increments. Opening the IAC opens an
air passage around the throttle blade which increases RPM.
The PCM uses the IAC motor to control idle speed (along with timing) and to reach a desired MAP during decel
(keep engine from stalling).
The IAC motor has 4 wires with 4 circuits. Two of the wires are for 12 volts and ground to supply electrical current
to the motor windings to operate the stepper motor in one direction. The other 2 wires are also for 12 volts and
ground to supply electrical current to operate the stepper motor in the opposite direction.
To make the IAC go in the opposite direction, the PCM just reverses polarity on both windings. If only 1 wire is
open, the IAC can only be moved 1 step (increment) in either direction. To keep the IAC motor in position when no
movement is needed, the PCM will energize both windings at the same time. This locks the IAC motor in place.
In the IAC motor system, the PCM will count every step that the motor is moved. This allows the PCM to determine
the motor pintle position. If the memory is cleared, the PCM no longer knows the position of the pintle. So at the
first key ON, the PCM drives the IAC motor closed, regardless of where it was before. This zeros the counter. From
this point the PCM will back out the IAC motor and keep track of its position again.
When engine rpm is above idle speed, the IAC is used for the following:
• Off-idle dashpot (throttle blade will close quickly but idle speed will not stop quickly)
• Deceleration air flow control
• A/C compressor load control (also opens the passage slightly before the compressor is engaged so that the
engine rpm does not dip down when the compressor engages)
• Power steering load control
The PCM can control polarity of the circuit to control direction of the stepper motor.
IAC Stepper Motor Program: The PCM is also equipped with a memory program that records the number of steps
the IAC stepper motor most recently advanced to during a certain set of parameters. For example: The PCM was
attempting to maintain a 1000 rpm target during a cold start-up cycle. The last recorded number of steps for that
may have been 125. That value would be recorded in the memory cell so that the next time the PCM recognizes the
Page 61
DR/DHFUEL INJECTION - GAS14 - 61
identical conditions, the PCM recalls that 125 steps were required to maintain the target. This program allows for
greater customer satisfaction due to greater control of engine idle.
Another function of the memory program, which occurs when the power steering switch (if equipped), or the A/C
request circuit, requires that the IAC stepper motor control engine rpm, is the recording of the last targeted steps
into the memory cell. The PCM can anticipate A/C compressor loads. This is accomplished by delaying compressor
operation for approximately 0.5 seconds until the PCM moves the IAC stepper motor to the recorded steps that
were loaded into the memory cell. Using this program helps eliminate idle-quality changes as loads change. Finally,
the PCM incorporates a 9No-Load9 engine speed limiter of approximately 1800 - 2000 rpm, when it recognizes that
the TPS is indicating an idle signal and IAC motor cannot maintain engine idle.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechanically limit the position of the throttle body throttle plate. Neverattempt to adjust the engine idle speed using this screw. All idle speed functions are controlled by the IAC
motor through the PCM.

to the sensor from the PCM. The sensor is grounded at the PCM through a low-noise, sensor-return circuit.
The PCM uses this input to calculate the following:
• Injector pulse-width
• Adjustment of spark timing (to help prevent spark knock with high intake manifold air-charge temperatures)

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is

box.
8.3L - SRT-10
The MAP sensor (2) mounts to the drivers side intake
manifold plenum.
OPERATION
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It contains a silicon based sensing
unit to provide data on the manifold vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. The PCM
requires this information to determine injector pulse width and spark advance. When manifold absolute pressure
(MAP) equals Barometric pressure, the pulse width will be at maximum.
A 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and returns a voltage signal to the PCM that reflects manifold pressure.
The zero pressure reading is 0.5V and full scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing of 0–15 psi, the voltage changes
4.0V. To operate the sensor, it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1 volts. Ground is provided through the low-noise,
sensor return circuit at the PCM.
Page 74
14 - 74FUEL INJECTION - GASDR/DH
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to fuel injector pulse width. The most important function of the
MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure. The PCM needs to know if the vehicle is at sea level or at a
higher altitude, because the air density changes with altitude. It will also help to correct for varying barometric pressure. Barometric pressure and altitude have a direct inverse correlation; as altitude goes up, barometric goes down.
At key-on, the PCM powers up and looks at MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it sees, it knows the current
barometric pressure (relative to altitude). Once the engine starts, the PCM looks at the voltage again, continuously
every 12 milliseconds, and compares the current voltage to what it was at key-on. The difference between current
voltage and what it was at key-on, is manifold vacuum.
During key-on (engine not running) the sensor reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal range can be
obtained by monitoring a known good sensor.
As the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner (less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to a very different
altitude than where it was at key-on, the barometric pressure needs to be updated. Any time the PCM sees Wide
Open Throttle (WOT), based upon Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) angle and RPM, it will update barometric pressure
in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates, the PCM can make its calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor input to aid in calculating the following:
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single piezoresistive element located in the center of a diaphragm. The
element and diaphragm are both made of silicone. As manifold pressure changes, the diaphragm moves causing
the element to deflect, which stresses the silicone. When silicone is exposed to stress, its resistance changes. As
manifold vacuum increases, the MAP sensor input voltage decreases proportionally. The sensor also contains electronics that condition the signal and provide temperature compensation.
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pressure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the reading stored
in the barometric pressure memory cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor; meaning as pressure changes, voltage
changes proportionately. The range of voltage output from the sensor is usually between 4.6 volts at sea level to as
low as 0.3 volts at 26 in. of Hg. Barometric pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At
sea level on a standard day, no storm, barometric pressure is approximately 29.92 in Hg. For every 100 feet of
altitude, barometric pressure drops 0.10 in. Hg. If a storm goes through, it can change barometric pressure from
what should be present for that altitude. You should know what the average pressure and corresponding barometric
pressure is for your area.

SENSOR-THROTTLE POSITION
DESCRIPTION
3.7L, 4.7L, 5.7L
The 3-wire Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) (2) is
mounted on the throttle body and is connected to the
throttle blade shaft.
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate TPS on
the throttle body.
8.3L - SRT-10
The TPS (1) is mounted on the passenger side of the
throttle body. The sensor connects to the throttle blade
shaft. The TPS is a variable resistor that provides the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with an input signal
(voltage).

OPERATION
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on the throttle body.
The 3-wire TPS provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with an input signal (voltage) that represents the
throttle blade position of the throttle body. The sensor is connected to the throttle blade shaft. As the position of the
throttle blade changes, the output voltage of the TPS changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the PCM) represents
the throttle blade position. The PCM receives an input signal voltage from the TPS. This will vary in an approximate
range of from .26 volts at minimum throttle opening (idle), to 4.49 volts at wide open throttle. Along with inputs from
other sensors, the PCM uses the TPS input to determine current engine operating conditions. In response to engine
operating conditions, the PCM will adjust fuel injector pulse width and ignition timing.
The PCM needs to identify the actions and position of the throttle blade at all times. This information is needed to
assist in performing the following calculations:
• Ignition timing advance
• Fuel injection pulse-width
• Idle (learned value or minimum TPS)
• Off-idle (0.06 volt)
• Wide Open Throttle (WOT) open loop (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage)
• Deceleration fuel lean out
• Fuel cutoff during cranking at WOT (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage)
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) (1) is mounted to
the throttle body.

The TPS is attached to the throttle body.
The throttle shaft end of the throttle body slides into a
socket in the TPS. When indexed correctly, the TPS
can rotate a few degrees to line up the mounting
screw holes with the screw holes in the throttle body.
If the sensor will not rotate into place, install the sensor with the throttle shaft on the other side of the
socket tangs. The TPS has slight tension when rotated
to align the mounting holes.
1. Install TPS and mounting screws.
2. Attach electrical connector to the TPS.

DESCRIPTION - DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system used on the Cummins engine is an electronically controlled, Bosch HPCR (High-Pressure Common
Rail) system. The HPCR system consists of five main components:
• Electric Fuel Transfer (lift) Pump Located in the Fuel Tank
• Fuel Pump/Gear Pump (attached to fuel injection pump)
• High-Pressure Fuel Injection Pump
• Fuel Injection Rail
• Fuel Injectors
Also to be considered as part of the overall fuel system are:
• Accelerator Pedal
• Air Cleaner Housing/Element
• Check Valve Banjo Fitting at Rear of Cylinder Head
• Fuel Connector Tubes
• Fuel Drain Manifold (passage)
• Fuel Drain Valve (at filter)
• Fuel Filter/Water Separator
• Fuel Heater
• Fuel Heater Relay
• Fuel Transfer Pump Relay
• Fuel Level (gauge) Sending Unit
• Fuel Pressure Limiting Valve
• Fuel Tank
• Fuel Tank Module (containing a fuel gauge sending unit, separate fuel filter located at bottom of tank module,
and fuel transfer pump)
• Fuel Tank Filler/Vent Tube Assembly
• Fuel Tank Filler Tube Cap
• Fuel Tubes/Lines/Hoses
• High-Pressure Fuel Injector Lines
• In-Tank Fuel Filter (at bottom of fuel tank module)
• Low-Pressure Fuel Supply Lines
• Low-Pressure Fuel Return Line
• Overflow Valve
• Quick-Connect Fuel Line Fittings
• Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) Located in Cab
• Water Draining (maintenance)
• Water-In-Fuel (WIF) Sensor
The fuel injection pump supplies high pressure to the fuel rail independent of engine speed. This high pressure fuel
is then accumulated in the fuel rail. High pressure fuel is constantly supplied to the injectors by the fuel rail. The
Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the fueling and timing of the engine by actuating the injectors.
Fuel enters the system from the electric fuel transfer (lift) pump, which is located inside of the fuel tank and attached
to the fuel tank module (the fuel transfer pump is no longer attached to the engine). Fuel is forced through the fuel
filter element and then enters the Fuel Pump/Gear Pump, which is attached to the rear of the fuel injection pump.
The Fuel Pump/Gear Pump is a low-pressure pump and produce pressures ranging from 551.5 kpa (80 psi) to 1241
kpa (180) psi. Fuel then enters the fuel injection pump. Low pressure fuel is then supplied to the FCA (Fuel Control
Actuator).
The FCA is an electronically controlled solenoid valve. The ECM controls the amount of fuel that enters the highpressure pumping chambers by opening and closing the FCA based on a demanded fuel pressure. The FPS (Fuel
Pressure Sensor) on the fuel rail monitors the actual fuel pressure and provides it as an input to the ECM. When
the actuator is opened, the maximum amount of fuel is being supplied to the fuel injection pump. Any fuel that does
Page 100
14 - 100FUEL DELIVERY - DIESELDR/DH
not enter the injection pump is directed to the overflow valve. The overflow valve regulates how much excess fuel
is used for lubrication of the pump and how much is returned to the tank through the drain manifold.
Fuel entering the injection pump is pressurized to between 300-1600 bar (4351-23,206 psi) by three radial pumping
chambers. The pressurized fuel is then supplied to the fuel rail.
WARNING: HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LINES DELIVER DIESEL FUEL UNDER EXTREME PRESSURE FROM THE
INJECTION PUMP TO THE FUEL INJECTORS. THIS MAY BE AS HIGH AS 160,000 KPA (23,206 PSI). USE
EXTREME CAUTION WHEN INSPECTING FOR HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS. INSPECT FOR HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS WITH A SHEET OF CARDBOARD. HIGH FUEL INJECTION PRESSURE CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY IF CONTACT IS MADE WITH THE SKIN.
