The multi-purpose supply vessel to which you are assigned has diesel generators fitted with fuel systems as shown in the illustration. What statement is true concerning items "11", "13", and "15"? Illustration MO-0154
• Follow the direction of fuel flow from the service tank through filters, pump, injectors, and back to the tank. • Know the visual difference between high‑pressure injector lines and low‑pressure supply/return lines on a diesel fuel system. • Understand what the injector leak‑off (return) line does and where it must lead.
• Look at where item "11" starts and ends: does it go from the injection pump to the injectors, or from filters to the pump? What type of line normally connects those components? • Trace the small line that item "13" labels across the tops of the injectors. What function do these small connections on the injector bodies usually serve? • See where item "15" goes when it leaves the injection pump. Does it feed fuel into the pump, or does it carry excess fuel away from the pump back toward a tank or separator?
• Verify whether item "11" runs from the injection pump outlets directly to each injector (typical of high‑pressure lines) or from a filter/transfer pump (low‑pressure). • Confirm that item "13" connects the leak‑off fittings on top of all injectors and then leads back toward a return point rather than a supply point. • Check if item "15" is connected to a point on the injection pump where excess fuel/air is bled off and then routed back to the day tank or separator, which would indicate a return line.
