d. Test and Adjustment
(fig. 6-243) .
(1) Fill valve with test fluid, MIL-F-7024 A
Type II, and apply a pressure of ½ psi to por t
marke d
“FREE FLOW” (fuel inlet fro m
primary fuel filter). The check valve must open
at this pressure . Valve operation can be deter -
mined when fluid flows from the fuel pum p
outlet port .
(2) Apply a pressure of 85 to 95 psi to the
heater pump inlet port. The check ball mus t
bypass fluid at this pressure. Adjust socket head
adjusting screw (F, fig. 6-242) to obtain thi s
opening pressure .
(3) Plug the fuel pump outlet port, and the
heater pump outlet port, and apply a pressure o f
100 psi at heater pump inlet port. There should
be no fuel leakage from the “FREE FLOW ”
port .
(4) If the valve fails to pass either test ,
replace entire valve assembly .
