The fuel supply is stored in the fuel tank. Fuel is drawn
from the fuel tank and into the primary filter by the fuel lift pump and then
through the secondary filter and then into the injection pump. The unused
fuel is returned to the fuel tank by a separate return line.
The fuel tank is held in place by metal straps and a cross strap attached
to the frame rail. Typical location is mounted on the frame rail.
The fuel tank filler neck is equipped with a threaded-type cap. The
threaded part of the cap requires several turns counterclockwise in order
to remove.
The fuel sender is located inside of the fuel tank and is attached to
the top of the fuel tank.
The fuel sender has a float, wire float arm, and a rheostat. The fuel
level is sensed by the position of the float and the float arm which operates
the 90 ohm rheostat. As the float position changes, the amount of
current passing through the rheostat varies, thus changing the gage reading
on the instrument panel.
A woven plastic strainer is located on the lower end of the fuel sender
pickup tube in the fuel tank. This strainer prevents large debris from entering
in the fuel line unless the strainer becomes completely submerged in water.
