(B) To CEM
(C) Return from CEM Note: For more information regarding the fuel system for the engine aftertreatment system, refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Clean Emissions Module".Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank through a fuel strainer to an external electric transfer pump. The fuel then flows to the 10 micron primary fuel filter and a water separator.The fuel may flow to the engine aftertreatment system or the fuel may flow to a fuel cooled ECM. The fuel then flows to a 4 micron secondary fuel filter.The fuel flows from the secondary fuel filter to a pressure regulator. A pressure regulator that is installed in the low-pressure fuel system controls the fuel pressure to the fuel injection pump. The pressure regulator regulates the fuel at an absolute pressure of 150 kPa (22 psi) when the engine is at idle speed.From the pressure regulator, the fuel flows to the fuel injection pump. The fuel is pumped at an increased pressure of 200 MPa (29000 psi) to the fuel manifold (rail).Fuel that has too high a pressure from the fuel manifold (rail) returns through the pressure relief valve to the return line. Fuel that is leak off from the electronic unit injectors flows to the return line. The fuel may then flow through an optional fuel cooler on the way back to the fuel tank.High Pressure Fuel System

Typical example
(1) Fuel injection pump
(2) Fuel temperature sensor
(3) Suction control valve for the fuel injection pump
(4) Pressure relief valve
(5) Electronic unit injector
(6) Fuel manifold (rail)
(7) Fuel pressure sensor
(8) Fuel transfer pump The fuel injection pump (1) feeds fuel to the high-pressure fuel manifold (rail) (6). The fuel is at a pressure of 200 MPa (29000 psi). A pressure sensor (7) in the high-pressure fuel manifold (rail) (6) monitors the fuel pressure in the high-pressure fuel manifold (rail) (6). The ECM controls a suction control valve (3) in the fuel injection pump (1) in order to maintain the actual pressure in the high-pressure fuel manifold (6) at the desired level. The high-pressure fuel is continuously available at each injector. The ECM determines the correct time for activation of the correct electronic unit injector (5) which allows fuel to be injected into the cylinder. The leakoff fuel from each injector passes into a drilling which runs along the inside of the cylinder head. A pipe is connected to the rear of the cylinder head in order to return the leakoff fuel to the fuel tank.Components of the Fuel Injection System
