FUEL SYSTEM - PI
Fuel Filter
The fuel filter, which is gravity fed, is situated
in the luggage compartment below the level of the
fuel tank. The filter comprises a top assembly which
is fixed to the luggage compartment floor and has
inlet and outlet connections. A paper element housed
in a metal canisteds secured in position between the
top assembly and a bottom sediment bowl by a single
bolt.
Fuel Pump Unit
The fuel pump unit mounted in the luggage
compartment consists of two main parts, an electric
motor and a twin-gear pump.
T~e
electric motor which drives the fuel pump
by means of a nylon coupling, is a 12 volt high
performance permanent magnet unit.
The motor is protected against the entry of fuel
from the pump by a shaft seal. A 'Tell-tale' pipe in
the motor base casting indicates whether the fuel has
passed this seal.
Filtered fuel enters the pump through the inlet
union and is expelled through the
pump
outlet by the
rotating action of the spur-type gears. The pump
pressure is dependent upon the setting of the pressure
relief valve.
