4. COMPONENTS OF LOW PRESSURE TRANSFER LINE
Low pressure stage is to supply sufficient fuel to high pressure section and components are as
below.
Fuel tank (including strainer)
Hand priming pump
Fuel filter
Transfer pump

1) Fuel Tank
Fuel tank is made of anti-corrosion material
and its allowable pressure is 2 times o
f
operating pressure (more than min. 0.3 bar).
It has protective cap and safety valve to
prevent excessive pressure building. Also, to
supply fuel smoothly, it has structure to
prevent fuel from leaking in shocks, slopes
and corners and.
If fuel runs out during driving or air gets into
fuel line after fuel filter replacement, it may
cause poor engine starting or damage to
each component. Therefore, the hand
priming pump is installed to bleed air from
transfer line.
When the vehicle is under the conditions as
below, press the priming pump until it
becomes rigid before starting the engine.
2) Priming Pump
After run out of fuel
After draining the water from fuel separator
After replacing the fuel filter -
-
-
Press the priming pump until it becomes
rigid before starting the engine.
