C18 Test Fuel Presión

This document provides instructions for testing fuel system pressure on C15 and C18 industrial engines. It describes how to check for low or high fuel pressure, typical fuel pressure readings, and the procedure for checking fuel pressure using an engine pressure group or fuel pressure gauge. Low fuel pressure can cause issues like low power or injector cavitation, while high fuel pressure can rupture fuel filters.

Fuel System Pressure - Test


SMCS - 1250-081; 1256-081

Low Fuel Pressure


Low fuel pressure can cause low power. Low fuel pressure can also cause cavitation of the fuel which can damage the
fuel injectors. The following conditions can cause low fuel pressure:

Plugged fuel filters

Debris in the check valves for the fuel priming pump

Debris in the pressure regulating valve

Partially open check valve

Sticking or worn fuel pressure regulating valve in the fuel transfer pump

Severe wear on return fuel pressure regulating valve in the fuel filter base

Worn gears in the fuel transfer pump

Pinched fuel lines or undersized fuel lines

Old fuel lines that have a reduced interior diameter that was caused by swelling

Fuel lines with deteriorating interior surfaces

Pinched fuel line fittings or undersized fuel line fittings

Debris in the fuel tank, fuel lines, or fuel system components that create restrictions

High Fuel Pressure

Excessive fuel pressure can cause fuel filter gaskets to rupture. The following conditions can cause high fuel pressure:

Plugged orifices in the fuel pressure regulating valve

Stuck fuel pressure regulating valve in the fuel transfer pump

Pinched fuel return line

Fuel Pressure Readings


The typical fuel pressure of the engine at operating temperature should between 446 ± 34 kPa (65 ± 5 psi) to
894 ± 34 kPa (130 ± 5 psi).

The performance of the unit injector deteriorates when the fuel pressure drops below 446 ± 34 kPa (65 ± 5 psi). Low
power complaints and erratic operation can occur in this situation. Check for a plugged fuel filter or air in the fuel lines as
possible causes for these complaints before replacing fuel system components.

(1) Typical locations of fuel pressure taps

To check the fuel transfer pump pressure, remove the plug from the fuel filter base. Install the 3Y-2888 Connector with a
3J-1907 O-Ring Seal. Install a pressure gauge, and start the engine.

The 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group can be used in order to check the fuel pressure of the engine. The engine pressure
group includes Special Instruction, SEHS8907, "Using the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group". This instruction provides
information about the usage of the group.
