DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION A mechanical lift pump, with a hand priming facility, is
driven by the camshaft, and is mounted on the RH
side of the engine.
A fuel filter, with a replaceable element and
incorporating a water separator, is mounted on the
front RH side of the engine compartment.
A fuel sedimentor may be fitted when the vehicle is
operating in more arduous conditions, and is used to
minimise water deposits in the fuel system before
reaching the fuel pump and filter.
Fuel injection is carried out by a Bosch direct injection
pump, incorporating a cold start advance unit and a
high idle setting. The pump is mounted on the RH side
of the engine and is driven directly by gears in the
front cover from the crankshaft. The pump meters and
distributes fuel to 4 pintle type injectors located in
pre-combustion chambers in the cylinder head. Four
heater plugs, located in the cylinder head directly
below each injector, are fitted to improve cold starting.
An optional hand throttle, for use with a centre power
take off, is located on the fascia to the LH side of the
fuse box, and is linked independently to the fuel
injection pump throttle lever.
Air intake
The air cleaner is mounted on the RH side of the
engine and is connected by hoses to the cold air
intake duct and turbocharger inlet. Fitted between the
air cleaner and turbocharger is the crankcase breather
hose which connects to a breather filter on the rocker
cover.
A single stage turbocharger, fitted between the
exhaust manifold and exhaust down pipe, is
connected by hoses to the air cleaner and an
intercooler which is mounted on the LH side of the
radiator. The intercooler is connected by a hose to the
inlet manifold. When an EGR valve is fitted to the
turbocharger, additional pipes/hoses are used to
connect the components.Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), when fitted.
Exhaust gas recirculation is controlled by an ECU
mounted under the front centre seat or cubby box and
receives the following inputs:
·Engine temperature from coolant temperature
sender unit on LH side of cylinder head.
·Throttle position from potentiometer on injection
pump.
·Engine speed from speedometer.
When all correct signals are received, the EGR
solenoid allows vacuum to open EGR valve and
recirculate a portion of the exhaust gas. See J6196 for
the EGR system component location and 'Operation'
for full system function.

19FUEL SYSTEM

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Under varying engine speed and load condition the
control unit sends a signal to open the vacuum
modulator which allows a vacuum to be applied above
the EGR diaphragm. The vacuum supply is taken from
a 'T' connector in the brake servo hose. This process
is controlled by an engine speed/load map stored in
the EGR control unit memory.
Engine speed is measured by monitoring the
waveform present on one phase of the generator.
Throttle position is measured via a sensor mounted on
the fuel injection pump throttle lever. Closed loop
control is achieved by allowing the control unit (ECU)
to continually monitor EGR valve lift via the sensor
mounted on the valve; this valve lift is compared with
the actual valve lift required on the control unit map
and adjusted, if necessary.
With coolant temperature between 20°C and 100°C,
the engine having just returned to idle, EGR will shut
off after 25-30 seconds idling.
