Fuel Pump With Separate Drive Shaft and Hub
The former fuel pump system consists of the following components:
- Barnes positive displacement type fuel pump; separate drive shaft
- Air compressor drive hub
- Gear train mounting adaptor
This pump has been replaced, effective July 1995, with an improved fuel pump. The pumps are similar, except the improved pump has a one-piece drive. These pump assemblies are completely interchangeable. Components are not interchangeable.
See Figure "Former Fuel Pump Assembly with Separate Drive Shaft and Hub Assembly" for the former positive displacement gear-type fuel pump.

The fuel pump transfers fuel from the supply tank to the fuel injectors. The pump circulates an excess supply of fuel through the injectors which purges the air from the system and cools the injectors. The unused portion of fuel returns to the fuel tank by means of a fuel return line.
The fuel pump is attached to either a drive assembly mounted on the rear side of the gear case, see Figure "Fuel Pump Drive Coupling" , or driven off of the rear of the air compressor. See Figure "Fuel Pump Mounting" .

The fuel pump cover and body are positioned by two dowels. The dowels aid in maintaining alignment between the body, cover and shafts. The mating surfaces of the pump body and cover are perfectly flat ground surfaces. A gasket is used between the cover and body.

Figure 3. Fuel Pump Mounting
The fuel pump body is recessed to provide running space for the pump gears. Recesses are also provided at the inlet and outlet positions of the gears. The small relief valve vent (5) (see Figure "Fuel Pump" ) permits the fuel oil in the inlet side of the pump to lubricate the relief valve at its outer end. This eliminates the possibility of a hydrostatic lock which would render the relief valve inoperative. Pressurized fuel contacts the relief valve through the passage to the head of the relief valve (1) and provides for relief of excess discharge pressures.
Fuel re-enters the inlet side of the pump through the passage to head of the relief valve (6) when the discharge pressure is great enough to move the relief valve back from its seat. Part of the relief valve may be seen through the passage to the head of the relief valve (6).
The gear teeth vent cavity (7) provides escape for the fuel oil that is squeezed out of the gear teeth as they mesh together on the discharge side of the pump. Otherwise, fuel trapped at the root of the teeth would tend to force the gears apart, resulting in undue wear on the gears, shafts, body, and cover. See Figure "Fuel Pump" .

Figure 4. Fuel Pump
Two oil seals are pressed into the bore in the flanged side of the pump body to retain the fuel oil in the pump and the lubricating oil in the fuel pump drive and gear case. The oil seal vent (4) (see Figure "Fuel Pump" ) serves as a vent passageway in the body between the inner oil seal and the suction side of the pump. This prevents building up any fuel oil pressure around the shaft ahead of the inner seal. The oil seals are installed with the lips of the seals facing each other. See Figure "Fuel Pump Oil Seal Arrangement" .

Figure 5. Fuel Pump Oil Seal Arrangement
Some fuel oil seepage by the fuel pump can be expected with a running engine and immediately after an engine has been shut down. This is especially true with a new fuel pump, new pump seals, or both, as the seals have not yet conformed to the pump drive shaft. Fuel pump seals will always allow some seepage. A drain hole in the pump body is provided to prevent fuel oil from being retained between the seals. Excessive fuel retention between the seals could provide enough pressure to cause engine oil dilution by fuel; therefore, drainage of the excess fuel oil is mandatory. However, if leakage exceeds one drop per minute, replace the pump. The drain hole should be checked for plugging at normal scheduled maintenance.
A spring-loaded relief valve incorporated in the pump body normally remains in the closed position, operating only when pressure on the outlet side (to the fuel filter) reaches approximately 448 kPa (65 psi).
In operation, fuel enters the pump on the suction side and fills the space between the gear teeth that are exposed at that instant. The gear teeth then carry the fuel oil to the discharge side of the pump and, as the gear teeth mesh in the center of the pump, the fuel is forced out the outlet cavity. Since this is a continuous cycle and fuel is continually being forced into the outlet cavity, the fuel flows from the outlet cavity into the fuel lines and through the engine fuel system under pressure.
The pressure relief valve relieves the discharge pressure by bypassing the fuel from the outlet side of the pump to the inlet side when the discharge pressure reaches approximately 448 to 517 kPa (65 to 75 psi). The fuel pump should maintain the fuel pressure as shown in the maintenance section. Refer to "12.5 Operating Conditions" .

with the bearing numbers against the installer. Position the bearing carefully on a shaft bore in the cover and with a light hammer drive the bearing into the bore until the installer is flush against the cover surface. See Figure
"Bearing Assembly Installation"
. Repeat the procedure, installing a new bearing assembly in the remaining shaft bore.
Figure 12. Bearing Assembly Installation
Note: Do not install a needle bearing assembly in the drive shaft bore until all other needle bearings have been installed and the oil seal protector has been positioned in the seals.
- Position the pump body on a bench, hub side down, and following the same bearing installation procedure, install a new needle bearing assembly in the driven shaft bore in the body.
NOTICE:
The seal protector must remain in place on both seals during installation of the needle bearing assembly in the drive shaft bore. If the protector is allowed to come out before the drive shaft is installed, the bearing must be removed and discarded and the protector reinstalled. The protector will be pushed out during drive shaft installation.
- With the pump body on a bench, hub side down, lubricate the outside of seal protector (J–33021–A)
with clean engine oil. Install the solid end of the protector down through both seals until it contacts the bench. See Figure
