FUEL TANK. Provides containment for the diesel fuel. A fuel strainer and the fuel level gage are
contained in the filler neck of the tank.
PRIMING PUMP. Used by Unit Maintenance to prime the fuel system.
PRIMARY FUEL FILTER. Removes larger particles from the fuel before it reaches the transfer pump.
TRANSFER PUMP. Pulls fuel from the fuel tank through the primary fuel filter, and pushes it on to the
secondary filter and the injection pump.
SECONDARY FUEL FILTER. Removes smaller particles from the fuel before it reaches the injection
pump.
INJECTION PUMP HOUSING. Contains the fuel injection pumps which send an exact amount of fuel
to the injection nozzles.
FUEL INJECTION NOZZLE. Turns the stream of fuel into a fine spray which permits good combustion
in the cylinder. There is one nozzle for each cylinder, and each nozzle has its own fuel injection pump.
