INTRODUCTION

From chassis no. 205884, a new hot-film flowmeter has been adopted instead of the vane-type flowme-
ter.
The hot-film flowmeter is more precise and, as it has no moving parts, it is more reliable than the previ-
ous version.
With the introduction of the new flowmeter, other parts have also been affected by the modification; in
addition to the hot-film flowmeter the new parts (added or modified) relating to the fuel system are as
follows:
- Modified air duct connecting air cleaner to flowmeter.
- Modified air duct connecting flowmeter to turbine.
- Modified flowmeter mounting bracket.
- Replaced engine coolant temperature sender unit with a new sender unit which comprises two sepa-
rate sensors: one for the fuel injection and one for the instrument panel gauge.
- Added intake air temperature sender unit which is no longer built into the flowmeter, but is a single
component located upstream of the new hot-filrn flowmeter.
- Modified fuel injection pump: on the fuel outlet connection for the return to the tank, the 0.75 mm cal-
ibrated hole has been replaced with a valve calibrated at the pressure of about 4 bar; this allows the
pump not to empty and to keep fuel under pressure in it, thus ensuring better engine starting.
- New Bosch 0.432.217.297 fuel injectors.
- New Bosch 0.432.217.296 instrumented fuel injector.
- New MSA 11 Bosch 0.281.001.741 fuel injection electronic control unit.
- New fuel injection wiring for connection to the new sensors.
This section only covers the parts of the 2387 TD engine fuel system which are different in relation to the
