a. General Description
(1) The Generator engine covered in this manual is a 3 cylinder Detroit Diesel. The engine is
equipped with an oil cooler, lubricating oil filter, fuel oil strainer, fuel oil filter, air cleaner, governor, heat
exchanger, raw water pump, and a starting motor.
(2) Fuel is drawn from the supply tank through a strainer by a gear - type fuel pump, and then forced
through the filter and fuel inlet gallery in the cylinder head and to the injectors. Excess fuel is returned to the
supply tank via the fuel outlet gallery and connecting lines. Since fuel is constantly circulating through the
injectors, it serves to cool the injectors and carry off any air in the fuel system.
(3) Air for scavenging and combustion is supplied by a blower which pumps air into the engine
cylinders via the air box and cylinder liner ports. All air entering the blower first passes through an air cleaner.
(4) Full pressure lubrication is supplied to all main, connecting rods and camshaft bearings, and to
other moving parts of the engine. A gear-type pump draws oil from the oil pan through an intake screen and
delivers it to the-oil filter and then to the oil cooler. From the oil cooler, the oil enters a longitudinal oil
