    Summary

    Cummins Common Rail Fuel System

    Install a M10 Compuchek® fitting at


    inlet to gear pump and at inlet to filter 0 to 762 mm Hg [0 to 30 in Hg]
    head. Attach 0.043-inch vacuum gauge.

    Operate the engine and measure vacuum. See detail.

    If restriction is excessive, look for


    cause.

    Remove test equipment. On non-marine


    engines, remove the Compuchek® fitting
    and install all plugs.
    Preparatory Steps TOC

    Cummins Common Rail Fuel System

    CAUTION
    Use caution when disconnecting or removing fuel lines,
    replacing filters and priming the fuel system that fuel is not
    spilled or drained into the bilge area. Do not drop or throw
    filter elements into the bilge area. The fuel and fuel filters
    must be discarded in accordance with local environmental
    regulations.

    Obtain a 0.043-inch orificed diagnostic fuel line, Part


    Number 3164621. This tool can also be constructed.
    Refer to Procedure 006-003.

    Obtain a container suitable for collection of fuel that exits


    the diagnostic fuel line. A 5-gallon bucket is
    recommended.

    Install a M10 Compuchek® fitting,


    Part Number 3824842, at the inlet
    to the fuel gear pump (Cummins
    Common Rail Fuel Systems only).

    Install a M10 Compuchek® fitting,


    Part Number 3824842, at the fuel
    filter head.

    Attach the 0.043-inch orificed


    diagnostic fuel line at the fuel filter
    head Compuchek® fitting. Route
    this hose into a collection container
    or into the vehicle fuel tank.

    Attach a 0 to 762 mm Hg [0 to 30 in
    Hg] vacuum gauge at the gear
    pump inlet Compuchek® port.
    Measure TOC

    Operate the engine at idle and


    measure the inlet vacuum.

    Maximum Fuel Inlet Restriction


    mm in
    Hg Hg
    At OEM connection
    203.2 (dirty filter) loaded 8.0
    condition
    At inlet to fuel gear
    304.8 pump (dirty filter) 10.0
    loaded condition

    If the inlet restriction is excessive,


    look for the root cause:

    • Suction side fuel filters


    plugged
    • Fuel heater valves are
    restricted
    • ECM cooling plate plugged
    • ECM cooling plate check
    valve restriction
    • OEM fuel lines pinched or
    restricted
    • Fuel tank stand pipes
    restricted.
    Finishing Steps TOC

    All Applications Except Marine

    NOTE: Do not leave Compuchek® fittings installed


    on the suction side of the gear pump. A
    Compuchek® fitting on the suction side of the gear
    pump can allow air to enter the fuel flow resulting in
    performance problems.

    Disconnect all diagnostic test fittings and reinstall all


    plugs.
