Q

Gear and vane pumps must have 1 to control 2

A

1 pressure relief valve

2max fuel system pressure

17
Q

Diaphgram and plunger type fuel pumps are self regulating because

A

spring tension limits fuel pressure

18
Q

5 problems that could cause HARD starting

A
low fuel
plugged filter
restricted inlet
cracked/loose inlet pipes
fuel system draining back to tank after shutdown
19
Q

when performing fuel system testing, guages should be selected with a range that is twice the pressure being measured to:

A

preotect guage from damage
and
accurate readings

20
Q

a guage installed between the fuel supply tank and the transfer pump inlet of a running engine would be used to check

A

inlet restriction

21
Q

4 problems that could cause LOW fuel system VOLUME

A

inlet restriction
plugged filter
worn fuel pump
restricted fuel lines

22
Q

Fuel supply system pressure is measured in

A

psi or kpa (keyword pressure)

23
Q

Inlet restriction is measured in

A

gal/min or l/min (volume)

24
Q

4 possible causes of air entering system

A

broken fuel tank stand pipe
loose fittings
cracked/loose fuel lines
missing gasket primary filter

25
Q

a plunger type pump with a weak or broken plunger spring would have

A

fuel volume or pressure low symptom

26
Q

if a gear OR a vane pump had a broken pressure relief valve spring, what effect would this have on the fuel system

A

low fuel pressure
