Section E. FUEL SYSTEM
62. General
The fuel system consists of a two stage fuel pump which is operated by the blower motor. Fuel lines from the dual
fuel oil strainers allow oil to pass to the suction side of the fuel pump At this time the fuel passes through and is raised
in pressure by the fuel pump. Fuel lines allow the fuel to flow from the fuel pump to the burner oil valves. From the
oil valves the fuel passes on into the internal assembly and is passed on through the fuel nozzle or returned to the
fuel system. The fuel pump must have a return and supply fuel line attached to a fuel supply for operation. Selector
fuel oil manual valves are mounted near the dual fuel oil strainers for optional use of either strainer.
