SERIES 60 HIGH FUEL PRESSURE

To determine if high fuel pressure is causing lack of power, perform the following steps: ‪

1. Remove either the fuel pressure sensor (FPS) or fuel temperature sensor (FTS) fitting from the secondary filter, if equipped; see Figure 20414 for FPS and see Figure 20415 for FTS.

2. Install a tee fitting between the secondary filter and fuel outlet line.
3. Attach a calibrated gauge capable of reading 0 - 100 lbin.² to the tee fitting.
4. Start and run the engine to the speeds listed in Table and record the fuel pressure:

   Note: When checking fuel pressure, start the engine, run at the speeds listed in Table , and record fuel pressure. Shut down the engine.

   Engine Speed, r/min ‪	Fuel Pressure, psi (kPa) ‪
   600 ‪	15 - 22 psi (103-152) ‪
   1200 - 1300 ‪	30 - 45 psi (207-310) ‪
   1800 - 2100 ‪	65 - 80 psi (448 - 552) ‪

   Fuel Pressure at Various Speeds
5. Shut down the engine.
6. Remove the tee fitting and calibrated gauge from the secondary filter.
7. Reinstall the FTS (refer to section ) or FPS (refer to section ) sensors, whichever was removed.
8. Analyze the measured fuel pressure readings.
   1. If the fuel oil pressure is within specification listed in Table , check for high fuel oil temperature return; refer to section .
   2. If the fuel oil pressure is greater than specifications listed in Table , refer to section .

Restricted Fitting and Check Valve Replacement

Perform the following steps to replace the restricted fitting and check valve. ‪

1. Remove the restricted fitting; refer to section .
2. Install a new restricted fitting; refer to section .
3. Remove the check valve; refer to OEM guidelines.
4. Install a new check valve; refer to OEM guidelines
5. Verify check valve and restricted fitting replacement; refer to section .

   NOTICE: ‪
   Do not increase the size of the orifice in restricted fittings. Increasing restricted fittling hole size can cause injector caviation, resulting in reduced durability of injectors and other engine components, and increased engine emissions. ‪

Test the Engine with Replaced Check Valve and Restricted Fitting

Perform the following steps to determine if the replaced check valve and restricted fitting resolved lack of power condition: ‪

1. Refer to section for exhaust caution before preceeding. Start and run the engine.
2. Run the engine at idle with a no-load for approximately 5 minutes, allowing the engine coolant to reach normal operating range.
3. Test drive the vehicle to ensure lack of power has been resolved.
   1. If no lack of power occurred during the test drive, no further troubleshooting is required. Shut down the engine.
   2. If lack of power occurred during the test drive, shut down the engine. Check for high fuel oil temperature return; refer to section .
