    SMCS - 1250, 1256 i08785009

    Low Fuel Pressure


    Low fuel pressure can cause low power. Low fuel pressure can also cause cavitation of the fuel
    which can damage the fuel injectors. The following conditions can cause low fuel pressure:

    Plugged fuel filters

    Debris in the check valves for the fuel priming pump

    Debris in the pressure regulating valve

    Partially open check valve

    Sticking or worn fuel pressure regulating valve in the fuel transfer pump

    Severe wear on return fuel pressure regulating valve in the fuel filter base

    Worn gears in the fuel transfer pump

    Pinched fuel lines or undersized fuel lines

    Old fuel lines that have a reduced interior diameter that was caused by swelling

    Fuel lines with deteriorating interior surfaces

    Pinched fuel line fittings or undersized fuel line fittings

    Debris in the fuel tank, fuel lines, or fuel system components that create restrictions

    High Fuel Pressure


    Excessive fuel pressure can cause fuel filter gaskets to rupture. The following conditions can cause
    high fuel pressure:

    Plugged orifices in the fuel pressure regulating valve

    Stuck fuel pressure regulating valve in the fuel transfer pump

    Pinched fuel return line

    Fuel Pressure Readings


    The typical fuel pressure of the engine at operating temperature should between 446 ± 34 kPa
    (65 ± 5 psi) to 894 ± 34 kPa (130 ± 5 psi).

    The performance of the unit injector deteriorates when the fuel pressure drops below 446 ± 34 kPa
    (65 ± 5 psi). Low power complaints and erratic operation can occur in this situation. Check for a
    plugged fuel filter or air in the fuel lines as possible causes for these complaints before replacing fuel
    system components.

    Reference: Refer to Technical Marketing Information (TMI) Test Spec for the speed settings for
    testing the fuel pressure. The "Floor" fuel pressure value given within a few psi should be seen at
    low idle speed with no load. The "Nominal" fuel pressure value should be the value seen at high idle
    speed with no load.

    To check the fuel transfer pump pressure, remove the plug from the fuel filter base. Install the 3Y-
    2888 Connector with a 3J-1907 O-Ring Seal. Install a pressure gauge, and start the engine.

    The 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group can be used in order to check the fuel pressure of the engine.
    The engine pressure group includes Special Instruction, SEHS8907 , "Using the 1U-5470 Engine
    Pressure Group". This instruction provides information about the usage of the group.
