1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group
Tooling (A) contains several pressure gauges that are used for measuring engine pressures.
ReferenceRefer to Special Instruction, SEHS8907 for information that relates to the operation and
maintenance of the tool group.
fuel which can damage the fuel injectors. The following conditions can cause low fuel pressure:
Debris in the check valves for the fuel priming pump (if equipped)
Sticking or worn fuel pressure regulating valve in the fuel transfer pump
Severe wear on return fuel pressure regulating valve at the rear of the cylinder head
Old fuel lines that have a reduced interior diameter that was caused by swelling
Debris in the fuel tank, fuel lines, or fuel system components that create restrictions

During normal operating conditions and load conditions, the fuel system should maintain the
following pressure:
At low idle, the fuel system should maintain the following pressure:
The pressure differential is the difference between filtered fuel pressure and unfiltered fuel pressure.
With a new filter, the pressure differential across the fuel filter will be the following amount:
35 kPa (5 psi)
As abrasive particles collect in the fuel filter, the pressure differential across the filter will increase.
When a filter becomes plugged, fuel supply pressure may drop as low as 69 kPa (10 psi) before a
significant power loss is detected by the operator. Low fuel pressure will cause cavitation and
internal damage to the unit injectors. The pressure differential across the fuel filter should not
exceed 69 kPa (10 psi).
Pressure regulator (8) is mounted directly in the rear of the cylinder head. The regulator is located at
the fuel return port toward the rear end of the fuel supply passage. The orifice maintains fuel
pressure at low engine rpm. The regulator contains a check valve that prevents fuel from draining out
of the cylinder head and back to the tank during engine shutdown.
In order to check the unfiltered fuel pressure (fuel transfer pump pressure), follow this procedure:
a. For type I fuel systems that contain a fuel pressure tap (10) that is installed in the inlet
port of the fuel filter base, remove the plug from the pressure tap. Install Tooling (B)
and Tooling (C) on the fuel pressure tap (10) .
b. For type II fuel systems without a pressure tap, install a t-fitting in the fuel line for the
unfiltered fuel pressure (14). If necessary, install Tooling (B) and Tooling (C) on the t-
fitting.
2. Install Tooling (B), and Tooling (C) to fuel pressure tap (11) .

the correct operation of the injection actuation pressure sensor.
