First. Warthog, note I left this matter alone, but this other fellow could not let it go. So here goes. I'm posting this page from TM 9-2815-204-35 so you can as you say "the facts mam just the facts" so here is the facts. The relief valve opens at 60PSI just as I said. If you look at the...

Repeat post.

What crawled up your butt Floridianson ? Was I even talking to you ? As far as the pressure relief valve goes, the system I showed is basically like ours . It serves the same function. The relief valve does NOT open until 60 PSI, so it keeps the pressure in the system. All diesel systems that...

There's nothing worse then old diesel that has started to separate into it's base components like TAR ! The poor old injection pump is a precision machined unit, that's why when you store a engine for a few years you must go through the proper storage procedures. The TM's do list them.

Here, I even highlighted the main parts for those who are "reading challenged" .

I'll just save all you the trouble of arguing with me and post this here now.

Maybe on the multifuel this would happen, but on all engines that use a mechanical shutoff they will have a fuel bypass to prevent fuel pressure build-up. The most likely thing that happens is a fuel filter failure since this is usually the weakest link. Don't believe me ? Look it up. Or...

Yes this would be much easier then removing all the injection lines ! What are you referring to about over pressuring the fuel system ?

This is a pretty good idea you have there chigger ! Most times we are in a hurry to hear the engine fire-up and don't do the proper safety checks. I know I've been guilty of that many times. Thankfully I've had only one fire on an engine and was able to put it out quickly. I had really good...

Actually the bypass valve is needed when fuel is shut-off to prevent excessive pressure buildup. When you shut-off the fuel ( pull the lever) the fuel is no longer going to the injectors, but the engine is still turning powering the injection pump fuel pump. If this fuel has no where to go it...
