GENERAL
Fuel supply systems consist of fuel storage tanks, fuel pumps, filters, and the
tubes and hoses needed to route the fuel to the engine. Some systems use electri-
cal pumps located in the tanks and a mechanized, engine-mounted pump to move the
f u e l .
Other systems mount the fuel storage tank in a location which allows gravity
flow of the fuel to the engine,
assisted by an engine-mounted, mechanized pump.
Two filters are mounted in series to provide a primary and secondary filtration
system to trap dirt and other contaminants.
Fuel filters must be checked for
accumulations of dirt and water.
A diesel engine can be severely damaged by using
unfiltered fuels.
