Pump, Fuel Injection: Installation
Cleanliness cannot be overemphasized when handling or replacing diesel fuel system components. This especially includes the fuel injectors, high-pressure fuel lines and fuel injection pump. Very tight tolerances are used with these parts. Dirt contamination could cause rapid part wear and possible plugging of fuel injector nozzle tip holes. This in turn could lead to possible engine misfire. Always wash/clean any fuel system component thoroughly before disassembly and then air dry. Cap or cover any open part after disassembly. Before assembly, examine each part for dirt, grease or other contaminants and clean if necessary. When installing new parts, lubricate them with clean engine oil or clean diesel fuel only.
Be sure pump is fully seated before tightening mounting nuts.
The fuel injection pump needs to be timed before it can be installed.
- Position sprocket (2) to pump shaft.
- Align the notch on the pump sprocket (2) to the mounting hole in the pump flange.
- Install the fuel injection pump (2) vertically on the support and then rotate the pump up to 15 degrees in either direction until the bolt holes are aligned.
- Install the fuel injection pump bolts (2) and tighten to 25 N.m (18 ft. lbs.).
- Install the fuel injection pump (2) inner bolt (1) and tighten to 25 N.m (18 ft. lbs.).
- Connect the fuel return line (2) to the fuel injection pump.
- Install the fuel supply line (1) to the fuel injection pump and securely tighten the clamp.NOTE:
The fuel tubes are a one time only use and must be replaced anytime they have been removed.
