Proper Procedure For Servicing And Cleaning The Fuel Injection Pump{1251}

Usage:


3054 (6FK),
3056 (1ML) Industrial;
3054 (4ZK),
3056 (7AK) Generator Set Engines

The fuel injection pumps in the above 3054/3056 Engines are supplied by the Stanadyne Company. The fuel injection pumps are rotary pumps with very small clearances between the internal rotating parts.


NOTICE

Do NOT wash a fuel injection pump with water or steam while the engine is running. A fuel injection pump seizure may result if the pump is washed while the engine is running.


The following steps should be used when servicing a fuel injection pump:

1. Clean and wash the fuel injection pump, fittings and all connections to eliminate the possibility of contamination entering the system when the lines are disconnected. Refer to the NOTICE above "Do NOT wash the fuel injection pump while the engine is running".

2. Shut off the fuel supply and disconnect the inlet and return lines from their fittings.

3. Loosen the injection tubing nuts at the nozzles and the fuel pump.

4. Immediately cap or plug all pump, nozzle and line openings to prevent contamination.

NOTE: When servicing a fuel injection pump, follow the instructions found in the Disassembly & Assembly Manual to remove the pump from the engine.
