 Fuel & Injection System

Fuel Rail pressure - 5Bar min. Main Fuel Filter Rating - 15 microns.

‘V’ engines must have both fuel filters in operation for normal running due to high power / flow.
‘L’ engines require only one filter for normal running, Duplex operation.
Fuel inlet assembly includes fuel pre-filter and semi-rotary hand pump.
