FUEL SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
Marea and Marea Weekend 1.9 JTD cars are equipped with a 4 cylinder in line, 1910 cc turbodiesel en­
gine with two valves per cylinder, an overhead camshaft, turbocharger and intercooler and electronic in­
jection.
The fuel system ensures correct engine operation and can be divided into the following subsystems:
- Fuel feed circuit with common rail injection;
- air feed circuit;
- exhaust circuit;
- blow by vapour recirculation circuit;
- Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) circuit
Operation of the various circuits making up the fuel system is optimised by an electronic control system
managed by a special control unit.
The main feature of the fuel system is common rail fuel injection. Common rail is a higher pressure elec­
tronic injection system for fast direct injection diesel engines.
The main features of the common rail system are as follows:
- availability of high injection pressures (up to 1350 bars);
- possibility of modulating these pressures (from a minimum of 150 bars to a maximum of 1350 bars)
independently of engine speed (rpm) and engine load;
- ability to operate at high engine speeds (up to 6000 rpm);
- precise injection control (injection advance and duration);
- reduced fuel consumption;
- reduced emissions.
FUEL SYSTEM MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
The management program (software) is stored inside the control unit memory and consists of a series of
strategies, each of which manages a precise system control function.
Through the use of information providd by the various sensors (input), each strategy processes a set of
parameters based on data stored in special control unit memory areas. It then controls system actuators
(output), i.e. the devices that allow the engine to operate.
The main purpose of these management strategies is to determine the exact amount of fuel to be injected
into the cylinders with timing (injection advance) and pressure designed to achieve the best possible en­
gine performance in terms of power, fuel consumption, fumes, emissions and handling.
The main system management strategies are essentially as follows:

Control of idle speed
On the basis of signals from the rpm sensor and engine coolant temperature sensor, the injection control
unit controls the pressure governor and alters the injector control times to maintain idle speed stable at all
times.
Under certain conditions, the idle speed control unit also considers battery voltage.
Control of maximum speed limitation
According to rpm level, the injection control unit limits maximum speed by means of two types of inter­
vention:
- as maximum speed approaches, it reduces the amount of fuel injected to reduce line pressure;
- when maximum speed is exceeded, it inhibits operation of the auxiliary pump and injectors.
Control of maximum torque limitation
On the basis of rpm level, the injection control unit computes limit torque and maximum permitted fume
index parameters on the basis of predefined, stored maps.
It then corrects the above parameters using engine coolant temperature and car speed data. The resulting
values are then used to modulate the amount of fuel to be injected by adjusting the pressure regulator and
injectors.
Control of fuel temperature
The injection control uint is kept constantly informed of fuel temperature by a sensor on the return mani­
fold.
If fuel temperature exceeds a set value (about 110 °C), the control unit reduces line pressure by adjusting
the pressure governor, leaving injection times unaltered.
Control of coolant temperature
The injection control unit is constantly informed of coolant temperature by a sensor on the thermostat.
If engine coolant temperature or air conditioning fluid pressure exceeds certain levels, the control unit
performs the following actions:
- It reduces the amount of fuel injected by adjusting the pressure governor and injectors (power reduc­
tion);
- it controls the engine radiator cooling fan.
Control of glow plugs
The injection control unit controls operation of the glow plug preheating control unit to bring the tem­
perature in the combution chambers up to levels that promote fuel self-ignition and thus make start-up
easier.
The control unit controls the operation of the glow plug control unit for a certain time both before (pre­
heating) and after (postheating) engine start-up and also controls activation of the warning light on the
control panel.
Preheating, postheating and glow plug warning light activation times vary according to engine coolant
temperature.

The control unit autodiagnostic system checks the signals coming from the sensors and compares them
with the figures allowed:
- signalling faults during starting
- warning light on for 4 seconds indicates test stage
- warning light off after 4 seconds indicates no fault with components that could alter the pollution con­
trol standard figures
- warning light on after 4 seconds indicates fault.
- signalling faults during operation
- warning light on indicates fault
- warning light off indicates no fault with components that could alter the pollution control standard fig­
ures.
- recovery
- from time to time, the control unit defines the type of recovery according to the components which are
faulty
- the recovery parameters are managed by components which are not faulty.
Control of cylinder balancing during idling
According to the signals coming from the sensors, the injection control unit controls the idle speed torque,
altering the injector operating times.
Control of irregular operation
Depending on the signals coming from the sensors, the injection control unit corrects the amount of fuel
to be injected in order to improve driveability and reduce jerking whilst driving.
The correction is achieved through the fuel pressure regulator and by varying the injector operating times.
Control of electrical balance
According to the battery voltage, the injection control unit alters the idle speed, to guarantee a sufficient
current supply from the alternator in situations where the consumers are absorbing a great deal of power.
The variation in the idle speed is achived by regulating the fuel pressure and altering the injector operat­
ing times.
VGT variable geometry turbocharger control (1910 JTD 110 CV)
The injection control unit processes the signal coming from the supercharging sensor, at the various en­
gine operating speeds, and determines the quantity of fuel to be injected, acting on the fuel pressure
regulator and the injector opening times.
In addition, through the solenoid valve, the control unit regulates the geometry of the turbine in order to
ensure optimum performance in all operating conditions.
Turbocharger waste gate valve control (1910 JTD 100 CV)
At the various engine operating speeds, the injection control unit processes the signal coming from the
supercharging sensor and determines the amount of fuel to inject, acting on the fuel pressure regulator
and the injector opening times.
In addition, the control unit controls the opening of the turbocharger waste gate valve, via the solenoid
valve, in order to ensure excellent performance in all operating conditions.
Control of throttle closing when engine is switched off
When the engine is switched off (ignition key in OFF position) the injection control unit closes the throt­
tle valve located on the air intake duct via the special solenoid valve.
This action makes it possible to limit the tiresome shuddering of the engine whilst it is switching off.

AIR INTAKE CIRCUIT
The air intake circuit is turbocharged by means of of a GARRET variable geometry turbocharger and an
intercooler.
The turbocharger is low inertia type. Its design is based on a new principle of turbocharging whereby the
turbocharger aims to increase torque within the range of most frequent use (e.g. at low speeds).
After passing through the filter (1), intake air is compressed by the exhaust gas-drive turbocharger (4),
cooled by intercooler (5) and sent to throttle body (6) and the intake manifold from where it is distributed
to the cylinders.

TURBOCHARGER (1910 JTD 110 CV)
The turbocharger used in the application of the
EURO 3 standards in the variable geometry
type connected to the exhaust manifold.
The turbocharger is controlled by the engine
management control unit via a duty-cycle so­
lenoid valve.
The increased volumetric output for the engine
is achieved, in the case of variable geometry
compressors, through the use of:
- a centrifugal compressor (1)
- a turbine (2)
- a series of moving vanes (3)
- a pneumatic actuator (4) controlling the
moving vanes.
- asolenoid valve (5) controlling the actuator
The variable geometry turbocharger makes it
possible to:
- increase the speed of the exhaust gases in
the turbine at low engine speeds
- slow down the speed of the exhaust gases
in the turbine at high speeds.
The control of the speed (kinetic energy) of
the exhaust gases makes it possible to pro­
duce increased engine torque at low speeds
and greater maximum power at high speeds.
Operation at low rotation speeds
When the engine is operating at low speeds,
the exhaust gases possses little kinetic energy:
under these circumstances a conventional tur­
bine would rotate slowly, supplying a limited
supercharging pressure.
On the other hand, in the variable geometry
turbine (1), the moving vanes are in the
maximum closure position and the small pas­
sage sections between the vanes increase the
speed (C) of the intake gases.
Increased intake speeds lead to increased pe­
ripheral speeds (U) of the turbine and, conse­
quently, the compressor.
The speed of the gases inside the impeller is
indicated by the vector (W).

Operation at high rotation speeds
When the engine speed is increased, the ki­
netic energy of the exhaust gases increases
gradually.
As a result, the speed of the turbine (5) in­
creases and consequently the supercharging
pressure.
The VGT solenoid valve (2) operated by the
injection control unit (1), through the actuator
(4) causes the moving vanes to change posi­
tion until the maximum opening position is
reached.

There is therefore an increase in the passage
sections and consequently a slowing down in
the flow of exhaust gases which pass through
the turbine (1) at the same speed or slower
than the low speed conditions.
The speed of the turbine (1) decreases and
settles down at a suitable vaule for the correct
operation of the engine at high speeds.

TURBOCHARGER (1910 JTD 100 CV)
It basically consists of two impellers (1) on
one shaft (2) which rotates on floating bear­
ings lubricated by a duct (3) from the engine
lubrication circuit.
The oil used dissipates some of the large
amount of heat given off by the exhaust gases
at the turbine.
There is a waste gate valve (4) fitted on the
turbocharger, operated by a pneumatic actua­
tor (5), that makes it possible to shutter the
flow of exhaust gases to the turbine, accord­
ing to the engine power/torque requirements.
The pneumatic actuator is controlled by the en­
gine management control unit via a solenoid
valve.
* The turbocharger used on the 1910 JTD 100 CV version is the fixed geometry type.

1. Grip the outer casing of the regulator, partly
extract it and, at the same time, rotate it so
that the fins (1) which contain the open­
ings for the fixing bolts are positioned hori­
zontally.
NOTA Do not grip the pressure regulator by
the electrical connector.
Insert the blades of two screwdrivers by the
fins (1) and very carefully extract the pressure
regulator.
NOTE Do not use a screwdriver or other
tools in the seal areas between the
regulator and the pressure pump.
2. Pressure regulator
1. High pressure seal (black or green)
2. Anti-extrusion seal (white)
3. Low pressure seal (black)
NOTE // the high pressure seal accidentally
remains inside the pump casing, turn
the ignition key to the ON position
(engine switched off); this will op­
erate the pump shaft and a small
amount of fuel and the seal will come
out.
NOTE Do not, under any circumstances, use any tools for extracting the high pressure seal and this
could damage the inner surface of the pump.
Refitting
- Suction off any impurities present inside the pump casing.
- Check the condition of the three seals and make sure they are correctly positioned before fitting.
- Slightly lubricate the outer surface of the three seals using vaseline. Do not, under any circumstances,
lubricate the other surfaces of the pressure regulator.
- Insert the pressure regulator in its housing on the pump, pressing gently and, at the same time, rotating
the regulator until it is is contact with the surface of the pump.
NOTE Do not, under any circumstances, use a hammer or other tools when fitting the pressure regula­
tor.
- Fit the two bolts fixing the pressure regulator to the pump acsing. and tighten them to a torque of
0.9±0.1 daNm.
- Reconnect the electrical connector and complete the refitting of the remaining components reversing the
order of the operations carried out for the removal.
