4. FUEL SYSTEM
As
can be seen
in
the above diagram, fuel
is,
from fuel tank, pumped up by fuel feed
pump through piping,
by
which
it
is
discharged into fuel filter where it
is
filtered clean;
thence
is
runs into fuel injection pump
to
be
ejected, under control of injection rate
according
to
the load and under high pressure, into combustion chambers via injection pipes
and nozzles. For
stop~ing
and cold starting, control of injection rate can
be
done with stop
lever
but
in other cases, should be left
to
pneumatic governor
that
works by Venturi negative
pressure.
