The fuel tank (6) stores the fuel supply. A mechanical fuel injection pump (10), located below the engine intake, includes the fuel supply pump and the high-pressure pump. Fuel is drawn through the diesel fuel conditioning module (DFCM) (7), which combines a water separator, an electric fuel prime pump, a fuel heater element, and a filter element. Fuel passes through a second screw on the fuel filter (8), then to the fuel injection pump. The fuel pump output is controlled by the engine control module (ECM) and provides fuel at the pressure needed by the fuel injectors (3). The fuel injectors supply fuel directly to the combustion chambers of the engine. A separate pipe returns unused fuel through a fuel cooler (5) to the fuel tank.
