DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 12-1-21
Crankshaft
1Front end to crankshaft sprocket
2Oil supply cross-drillings
3Main journals
4Big-end journals
5Rear end to flywheel
The crankshaft is constructed from cast iron and is surface-hardened. The areas between the crankshaft journals and
the adjoining webs and balance weights are compressed using the cold roll process to form journal fillets.
Cross-drillings in the crankshaft between adjoining main and big-end bearings are used to divert lubrication oil to the
big-end bearings.
A torsional vibration damper is attached to the crankshaft pulley by three bolts.
The crankshaft is carried in six main bearings, with end-float being controlled by thrust washers positioned on both
sides of No. 3 main bearing.
Main bearings
There are six main bearings used to carry the crankshaft. Each of the bearing caps are of cast iron construction and
are attached to the cylinder block by two bolts.
The bearing shells are of the split cylindrical type. The upper half bearing shells are grooved to facilitate the supply of
lubrication oil to the bearings and fit into a recess in the underside of the cylinder block. The lower half bearing shells
are smooth and fit into the bearing caps.
Steel-backed thrust washers are included at each side of No. 3 main bearing to control crankshaft end-float. One side
of each of the thrust washers is grooved, the grooved side of each of the thrust washers is fitted facing outward from
No. 3 main bearing.
Cylinder head components
The cylinder head components are described below:
Cylinder head
The cylinder head is of aluminium construction. It is not possible to reface the cylinder head if it becomes worn or
damaged. An alloy camshaft carrier is bolted directly to the upper surface of the cylinder head. Two dowels are
included in the cylinder head upper face for correct location of the camshaft carrier.
The EU3 cylinder head has a single internal fuel rail for delivering fuel to the injectors and an external fuel pipe for
returning spill fuel back to the fuel connector block. Therefore, pre EU3 and EU3 model cylinder heads are not
interchangeable.
CAUTION: The cylinder head incorporates drillings for the fuel injection system, any contamination which
enters these drillings could cause engine running problems or injector failure. It is therefore, essential that
absolute cleanliness is maintained when carrying out work on the cylinder head.

FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - TD5
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 19-1-3
Description
General
The fuel delivery system comprises a fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, five injectors and a fuel filter. The
system is controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM) which energises the fuel pump relay and controls the
operation and timing of each injector solenoid.
Unlike other Diesel engines, the Td5 engine has no injection pump. The diesel direct injection system receives fuel
at pressure from a two stage fuel pump located in the fuel tank. The system incorporates a fuel return to the fuel pump,
via a fuel cooler attached to the inlet manifold and a fuel filter. A fuel pressure regulator is located in a housing on the
rear of the cylinder head. The regulator maintains the fuel delivered to the injectors at a constant pressure and returns
excess fuel back to the fuel filter and pump via the fuel cooler.
A fuel filter is positioned on the chassis to the right of the fuel tank. The fuel feed and return to and from the engine
passes through the filter. The filter also incorporates a water sensor which illuminates a warning lamp in the
instrument pack.
A moulded fuel tank is located at the rear underside of the vehicle between the chassis longitudinals. The tank
provides the attachment for the fuel pump and fuel gauge sender unit which is located inside the tank.
Fuel tank and breather
The fuel tank and breather system is a major part of the fuel delivery system. The fuel tank and breathers are located
at the rear of the vehicle between the chassis longitudinals.
Fuel tank
The moulded fuel tank is made from High Molecular Weight (HMW) High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). The diesel
tank is manufactured using a proportion of recycled plastic.
The tank is retained in position by a metal cradle which is secured to the chassis with two nut plates and bolts at the
rear and a stud plate and two nuts at the front. A strap above the tank is bolted to the chassis and restrains the tank
from moving upwards. The fuel tank has useable capacity of approximately 95 litres (25 US Gallons).
An aperture in the top surface of the tank allows for the fitment of the fuel pump and fuel gauge sender unit which is
retained with a locking ring.
A reflective metallic covering is attached to the tank with two scrivets to shield the tank from heat generated by the
exhaust system.
The fuel filler is located in the right hand rear quarter panel, behind an access flap. The flap is opened electrically
using a switch on the fascia which operates a release solenoid.
The filler is closed by a threaded plastic cap which screws into the filler neck. The cap has a ratchet mechanism to
prevent overtightening and seals against the filler neck to prevent the escape of fuel vapour. The filler cap has a valve
which relieves fuel pressure to atmosphere at approximately 0.12 to 0.13 bar (1.8 to 2.0 lbf.in
2) and opens in the
opposite direction at approximately 0.04 bar (0.7 lbf.in2) vacuum.
A moulded filler tube, made from HMW HDPE, connects the filler to the tank via a flexible hose. The filler tube is
connected at its top end behind the filler flap.

FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - V8
19-2-4 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
The fuel delivery system comprises a fuel tank, fuel pump and regulator and eight injectors. The system is controlled
by the Engine Control Module (ECM) which energises the fuel pump relay and controls the operation and timing of
each injector solenoid.

+ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description - engine
management.
The multiport fuel injection system is a returnless system with the fuel pressure maintained at a constant level by a
fuel pressure regulator. The regulator is located in the fuel pump housing and returns excess fuel directly from the
pump to the tank.
An electrically operated fuel pump is located in the top of the fuel tank and supplies fuel at pressure to two fuel rails
via a flexible hose. The hose is attached to the feed pipe on the fuel rail at the rear of the engine and the fuel pump
with sealed quick release couplings.
A moulded fuel tank is located at the rear underside of the vehicle between the chassis longitudinals. The tank
provides the attachment for the fuel pump and fuel gauge sender unit which is located inside the tank. The fuel system
is pressurised permanently with pressurised fuel vapour venting to an EVAP canister.

+ EMISSION CONTROL - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Emission Control Systems.
Fuel tank and breather
The fuel tank and breather system is a major part of the fuel delivery system. The fuel tank and breathers are located
at the rear of the vehicle between the chassis longitudinals.
Fuel tank
The moulded fuel tank is made from High Molecular Weight (HMW) High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). Continuous
layers of nylon additive are used during the moulding process. The nylon layers give an improved limit of fuel
permeation through the tank wall and are also resistant to alcohol based fuels used in the NAS market.
The tank is retained in position by a metal cradle which is secured to the chassis with two nut plates and bolts at the
rear and a stud plate and two nuts at the front. A strap above the tank is bolted to the chassis and restrains the tank
from moving upwards. The fuel tank has a useable capacity of approximately 95 litres (25 US Gallons).
An aperture in the top surface of the tank allows for the fitment of the fuel pump, regulator and fuel gauge sender unit
which is retained with a locking ring.
A reflective metallic covering is attached to the tank with two scrivets to shield the tank from heat generated by the
exhaust system.
The fuel filler is located in the right hand rear quarter panel, behind an access flap. The flap is opened electrically
using a switch on the fascia.
The filler is closed by a threaded plastic cap which screws into the filler neck. The cap has a ratchet mechanism to
prevent over tightening and seals against the filler neck to prevent the escape of fuel vapour. The filler cap has a valve
which relieves fuel pressure to atmosphere at approximately 0.12 to 0.13 bar (1.8 to 2.0 lbf.in

opposite direction at approximately 0.04 bar (0.7 lbf.in2) vacuum.
All markets except NAS: A moulded filler tube, made from HMW HDPE with no additional additives, connects the
filler to the tank via a flexible rubber hose. The filler tube is connected at its top end behind the filler flap.
