CONNECTIONS
Check local regulations governing the installation of
a fuel supply tank.
In any diesel engine Installation, fuel system cleanliness Is of
utmost importance. Make every effort to prevent entrance of
moisture or contaminants of any
kind.
Do not use lines or fittings of
galvanized material.
A fuel lift in excess of 6feet (1.8 m) is not recommend-
ed without a day tank installation, because of fuel
drainage. Horizontal run, if the supply tank is level
with the fuel pump, should not exceed 12.5-feet
(3.9 m). However, a day tank is again recommended.
A fuel sediment trap should be installed between fuel
transfer pump and supply tank.
The fuel inlet is to the transfer pump and is threaded
for 3/8-inch pipe. Injectors' return line requires a 1/8-
inch low pressure hose connection. Refer to Figure
13.
