TRUCK SERVICE MANUAL
FUEL SYSTEM
Both ends of through drain drillings are tapped so that
gear pumps can be converted from R.H. to L.H. In
normal manner.
Caution: Under no circumstances should the pump
be operated with cooling return flow plugged.
This
fuel flow is necessary to lubricate the bearing
surfaces within the gear pump.
1.
Fuel pumps with the integral cooling feature may be
identified by a 1/8 inch N.P.T.F.
hole In top of gear
pump.
2.
Install elbow-check valve, Part No.
175836, in 1/8
inch drain hole in gear pump.
A 1/8 inch N.P.T.F.
brass
street elbow and a check valve, Part No.
179037, may
be used as a substitute for valve combination.
Note:
The spring-loaded check valve is necessary to
prevent fuel in pump from draining away and causing
hard starting.

Assembly
1.
Install new "0" rings In grooves and new nylon
washer.
2.
Coat the diaphragm with a good grade of 10W or
20W oil and lay in cover.
3.
Assemble cover to housing, torque capscrews to 11 to
13 foot pounds [15 to 18 No m].
SHUT-DOWN VALVES
The shut-down valve, electric or manually operated,
controls flow of fuel from the pump to the injectors.
The
electric valve is equipped with a knob which will open the
valve.
In case of electrical power failure, keep in
counterclockwise position to operate electrically.
Electric Shut-Down Valve
The electric shut-down valve is held open while current is
flowing through the electric coil, or solenoid.
When
current is not flowing, valve will shut unless the shut-
down valve is locked open manually.
Disassembly
Remove coil housing from valve housing.
Remove coil
housing, fuel shield and discard "O" ring.
Remove spring
washer and plate-type valve.
Remove manual override
knob, and unscrew override shaft from coil end.
Discard
