to fill the system with fuel and purge

air from the IFS M the ECM at Keyon

turns on the priming pump for 2 minutes

during this 2-minute period the priming

pump draws fuel from the tank to the IFS

M Inlet and Inlet screen this 140 micron

mesh screen prevents debris from

entering the lift pump

the fuel from the inlet screen flows

through the priming pump and fills the

suction side fuel filter fuel enters the

top of the filter and flows down the

sides of the filter before moving up the

center of the filter and flowing through

the anti drain back valve at the top of

the filter outlet

the fuel then flows up the right side of

the eye FSM to the gear pump Inlet

any air that was trapped in the

low-pressure side of the I FSM is

rounded from the top of the I FSM

through a passage in the I FSM mounting

gasket to the air bleed check valve and

on to the I FSM drain

the priming pump will shut down after

the two-minute period has passed the

engine is now ready to be started during

normal operation the gear pump pulls the

fuel from the tank through the inlet

screen in the inlet check valve that

bypasses the priming pump

the fuel then flows up the right side of

the eye FSM to the gear pump and enters

the top of the gears all the fuel at

this point is under a vacuum

the fuel travels around the gears and

the gear pump and is forced out of the

gears at the bottom is the gear teeth

mesh pressure begins to develop in the

system this pressure continues to

increase with engine speed

as the fuel moves out of the gear pump

it passes the 320 psi regulator this

regulator dumps to drain when excessive

pressure is developed in the system

fuel from the outlet of the gear pump is

routed down and over to the center of

the I FSM to the fuel shutoff valve when

energized by the ECM the shutoff valve

opens and fuel flows through the valve

to the actuator feed rail

the fuel out of the shut-off valve flows

into the center of the actuator feed

rail and splits to flow to the front and

rear banks of timing and metering

actuators

the 250 psi regulator is located below

the shutoff valve and regulates the

actuator feed rail pressure when the

rail pressure in the system exceeds 250

psi the regulator dumps the fuel back to

the inlet of the gear pump

any air trapped in the rail pressure

side of the system is routed with the

actuator feed rail decay flow through

the 8,000 inch orifice and to drain
