System Function
W2005892
Automatic Bleeding
If air gets into the system, it is bled when the engine
starts. During bleeding, the air is pressed out through the
fuel filter housing over to the fuel tank through the return
line (25). Bleeding for the filter replacement is controlled
by valves (17) and (23).
Water Drainage
Draining water from the water separator (5) requires the
following:
The sensor (14) in the water separator indicates water
in the fuel bowl.
The engine is not running.
The ignition key is in the ON position.
The parking brake is applied.
When the switch (15) is depressed (located in the cab
instrument panel), the drain valve (16) opens for about
15 seconds and drains the water. If additional drainage
is needed, wait 6 minutes before repeating because the
function is on a timer.

Other
The fuel filter housing eliminates the need to drain the fuel
when replacing the filter. The valve pegs (17) and (21)
close when the fuel filter is removed. It is not necessary
to bleed the fuel system after replacing the filter, since
this is performed automatically when the engine is started
and runs for more than 2 minutes.

Spill Phase
The spill phase begins when the camshaft lobe forces the
rocker arm to push the pump plunger down.
The fuel can now flow through the fuel valve, through the
holes in the unit injector and out through the fuel gallery.
The spill phase continues as long as the fuel valve is
open.
Injection Phase
The injection phase begins when the fuel valve closes.
The camshaft lobe and rocker arm continue to press
down on the pump plunger and injection occurs as the
path through the fuel valve closes. The injection phase
continues as long as the fuel valve is closed.
