2.5. Function of Component

2.5.1. F.O. Feed Pump
The FO feed pump feeds fuel oil from the fuel tank to the fuel injection pump via the water separator and fuel filter.
The trochoid FO feed pump, installed on the fuel injection pump side, is driven by the fuel camshaft via the bevel gear.
This feed pump can feed high pressure fuel oil into the FO injection pump, but while the fuel oil inside the piping is empty
due to shortage of gases, etc., the pump's self-feeding performance is low. Accordingly, the manual priming pump with
FO filter or solenoid pre-feed pump is used together. The feed pump failure causes the delivery pressure and volume to
drop. This, in turn, shortens the service life of the fuel injection pump and causes the pump to become faulty.
Replace the feed pump assembly after 10,000 hours' use as a standard.
