HURRICANE
F4
ENGINE
•
Late
Models.

The
Hurricane F4
engine
is equipped with a single-
action fuel pump (Fig.
E-31).
The fuel pump cam lever is activated by an eccentric on the
engine

camshaft. When the carburetor float
needle
valve
closes, accumulation of fuel in the pump
extends

the diaphragm spring.
This
action causes the rocker

arm
linkage to
become
inoperative until the pres­
sure on the diaphragm and spring is reduced. The fuel pump discharge pressure is thus controlled by
the diaphragm spring.
This
provides a steady sup­ ply of fuel to the carburetor at a fairly constant
pressure.

Fuel
Pump Testing

Whenever
the fuel pump is to be checked for pres­

sure
or volume, follow the procedure outline in

Par.
C-23 of this manual.
Fuel
pump pressure is
important
for low pressure
will
seriously affect en­

gine
operation and high pressure can cause exces­
sive fuel consumption and flooding of the carbure­
tor.
Should there be any doubt of normal opera­
tion, check the procedure as outlined in Par. C-23.
In
addition to proper fuel pressure, volume of the
pump is also important. When testing for proper
pump pressure, be certain to also
test
for volume
as the pump may build up sufficient pressure, but
fail
to produce sufficient volume.

AIR
CLEANER

Servicing
of the air cleaner is properly taken care of as part of the periodic lubrication and servicing of the vehicle. For this reason, air cleaner servicing
information is given in the Lubrication Section.

Refer
to and follow the instructions given there.

E-70. ACCELERATOR LINKAGE
The
accelerator linkage is properly adjusted when
the vehicle leaves the factory. However, in time
components parts
will
become
worn and require re­
adjustment to maintain a smooth even control of
engine
speed. On Models equipped with F4
engines

the adjustment is made at the adjusting block,

Fig.
E-34. Loosen the lock nuts, and adjust the length of the accelerator rod so that when the
car­

buretor throttle valve is wide open the accelerator
treadle
will
just strike the toe board. After correct
adjustment is made tighten both lock nuts firmly.
To

Fuel
Tank

The
fuel tank on early model 'Jeep* Universal vehicles has a capacity of 10}4 gals. [38,75 ltr.] and
is mounted under the driver's seat. The tank is
secured to the front floor panel by a hold down

strap
and two bolts.
The
fuel tank on all late model 'Jeep* vehicles has a
capacity of 16 gal. [60,56 ltr.] and is mounted to
three frame
rail
brackets at the
rear
and center of
the frame. The tank is secured to the brackets by
three
bolts
and six rubber shock insulators. A fuel

tank
skid plate is attached to the
rear
frame cross- member to protect the
bottom
of the tank from damage.

versed.

When
installing the fuel tank on late model vehicles, position the tank
between
the frame
rail

to allow space to connect the fuel line(s), vent
hose

and
sending unit wire. After connecting
these
items, align and secure tank to frame brackets.

Par.
E-73.

E-75.
Fuel
Tank
Cap

A
surge pressure type fuel tank filler cap is used on

all
models.
This
is necessary to prevent fuel leakage
from
the cap vent opening when the vehicle is on a
side slope. Two spring loaded relief valves which
open when venting is required are built into the
cap.
Should the pressure valve
fail
to open, pressure
in
the tank may force fuel by the carburetor inlet
valve causing flooding.
Failure
of the vacuum valve may prevent flow of fuel to the carburetor. Should
the valves
fail
to vent install a new cap.

Note:
Vehicles having a
Fuel
Evaporative
Emis­

sion System are equipped with a non-vent sealed gas cap. The sealed cap is designed to allow no
vapors to discharge to the atmosphere. No other type of cap is to be used on vehicles having this
type system.

E-76.
Fuel
Gauge Float Unit

The
fuel tank
gauge
float unit is mounted in the top
of the fuel tank and consists of a housing enclosing
a
rheostat that is actuated by the float arm, and a
float
which
moves
with the fuel level in the tank.
On
V-6 and current production F4
engine
equipped vehicles, the fuel
outlet
pipe is integral with the
float
unit.
The fuel
outlet
pipe has a mesh filter on the inner end.

Note:
Under no circumstances should a fuel tank

gauge
be installed without a mesh filter element.

The
filter,
outlet
pipe, and float unit are locked as

an
assembly to the top of the fuel tank. To remove,

turn
the lock plate that secures the float unit
assembly.

E-77.
Fuel
Lines

Check
lines and connections occasionally for leaks,
and
for severe kinks that might restrict the flow of
fuel. If an excessive amount of
dirt
is found in the
carburetor
or fuel pump, the fuel tank should be
drained
and the fuel lines blown out with com­
pressed air.

All
rubber fuel lines and their respective clamps should be checked occasionally to be certain they
are
correctly positioned and not leaking. 133
