Installation
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL, ALIGN, AND TIGHTEN THE FUEL, OIL, AND
AIR FITTINGS AND TUBES COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FAILURE.
(1)
2.
When you replace or reinstall the fuel nozzle, apply a light layer of antiseize
compound (NS--165) to the threads. Use a 23007638 wrench to tighten the nozzle
to 200--300 lb in. (23--34 Nm). Lockwire to spark igniter. Tighten the hose coupling
nut to 80--120 lb in. (9--14 Nm). Attach the hose coupling nut with lockwire.
(b)
Check run the engine after fuel nozzle replacement. (Refer to Check Run, para 1,
72--00--00, Engine--Adjustment/Test.)
Disassembly/Assembly
CAUTION:
A.
MAKE SURE NOT TO DAMAGE THE MIRROR FINISH AND EDGES OF THE
FUEL INJECTOR SPRAY TIP. THE FUEL NOZZLE MUST BE DISASSEMBLED
IN A CLEAN AREA, AND CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO AVOID DIRT OR OTHER
CONTAMINATION.
Note the position of the lockwire on the fuel nozzle, and then remove the lockwire.
(2)
Count the number of visible threads on the outer air shroud. (Retain this number for
verification that the fuel nozzle will be correctly reassembled.)
CAUTION:
B.
(3)
Insert the fuel nozzle body in 6897875 holding fixture. Remove the outer air shroud.
(4)
Carefully remove the fuel injector spray tip assembly from the outer air shroud and the filter
from the body. No further disassembly is permitted.

Hold the body in a vertical position, and insert the filter assembly.
(2)
Place the fuel injector spray tip assembly in the body. Make sure that it is properly
engaged with the filter.
NOTE:
Make sure that the filter assembly stays seated on the fuel injector spray tip
assembly.
(3)
Retain the fuel nozzle in a vertical position. Attach the outer air shroud to the body.
(4)
Verify that the fuel nozzle is correctly assembled. Count the number of visible threads on
the outer air shroud. (Refer to para 2.A.(2), this section.)
CAUTION:
(5)
Insert the fuel nozzle in holding fixture 6897875 or a vise, and tighten the outer air shroud
to 25--30 lb ft. (34--41 Nm). Attach with 0.020 in. (0.5 mm) lockwire.

Inspection
A.
Check for damage, soot, or carbon buildup on the fuel injector spray tip. (Ref. Figure 202.)
(2)
Replace the fuel nozzle asssembly if the fuel injector spray tip is damaged.
(3)
Replace the fuel nozzle assembly if wear on the OD of the outer air shroud is more than
0.005 in. (0.13 mm) maximum.
B.
Examine for signs of contamination and serviceability. Return the entire fuel nozzle to a
Rolls--Royce Authorized Maintenance Center if one of the conditions that follow are found:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
If the fuel nozzle is accidentally disassembled more than permitted, refer to para
2.A., this section.)

(2)
Connect the supply hose coupling nut to the fuel nozzle, and hand tighten.
WARNING: WEAR GOGGLES TO PROTECT YOUR EYES FROM ACCIDENTAL FUEL
SPLASH.
(3)
Hold the supply hose with attached fuel nozzle, and point the fuel injector spray tip toward
a container.
(4)
Make sure that all ignition system circuit breakers are open.
NOTE:
The fuel boost pump must be on and the twist grip at idle detent.
(5)
(6)
Examine the circumference of the sprayed cone of fuel. Spray patterns must be
symmetrical and free of streaks and voids. Refer to Figure 203 for satisfactory and
unsatisfactory spray patterns.
If necessary because of variation in fuels and operation conditions, clean the fuel
nozzle at more frequent intervals to maintain proper combustion flame pattern. Refer
to Table 602, 72--00--00, Engine--Inspection/Check.
NOTE:
If necessary, ultrasonically clean the fuel nozzle filter assembly after disassembly.

Removal of external carbon deposits from the fuel injector spray tip can correct a
streaking problem. if you clean the fuel inejctor spray tip, it can be unnecessary to
diasassemble the fuel nozzle.
Suspend the fuel nozzle vertically with the fuel inejctor spray tip immersed approximately
0.125 in. (3.18 mm) in cleaning solvent (Brulin Safety Solvent No. 512M or equivalent). If
necessary, soak the fuel inejctor spray tip for one hour or longer to remove all carbon. Use
a soft bristle nylon brush, such as a toothbrush, to remove remaining carbon buildup from
the fuel inejctor spray tip. Make sure that loosened carbon does not enter the fuel inejctor
spray tip.
CAUTION:
(2)
After carbon removal, Use Stoddard solvent or kerosene to flush the fuel nozzle internally
and externally. Dry with a soft cloth.
CAUTION:
(3)
B.
Clean the face of the outer air shroud with a clean dry cloth. The air holes must be open.
Make sure that loosened carbon does not enter the fuel inejctor spray tips.
Check for damage or carbon deposits on fuel inejctor spray tips. Refer to Figure 202 for
the condition of a typical fuel nozzle removed from an operational engine. If possible, a
fuel nozzle in this condition must be cleaned before reinstallation.
CAUTION:
(2)
Suspend the fuel nozzle vertically with the fuel inejctor spray tip immersed approximately
0.125 in. (3.18 mm) in cleaning solvent (Brulin Safety Solvent No. 815 QR or equivalent).
If necessary, heat the solvent to 140EF (60EC). Approximately eight hours is a desired
soak time. All carbon will be removed or loosened after this process.
(3)
Use a soft bristle nylon brush, such as a toothbrush, to remove remaining carbon buildup
from the fuel injector spray tip. Make sure that loosened carbon does not enter the fuel
injector spray tip.
(4)
After carbon removal, Use Stoddard solvent or kerosene to flush the fuel nozzle internally
and externally. Dry with a soft cloth.
CAUTION:
(5)
If carbon is still visible, soak the fuel injector spray tip in Turco 4181 (or equivalent) at
140EF (60EC) for two hours. Flush the fuel nozzle thoroughly with hot water then with
Stoddard solvent or kerosene. Dry with a soft cloth.
(6)
Clean the face of the outer air shroud with a clean dry cloth. Make sure that loosened
carbon does not enter the fuel injector spray tips or air holes.
(7)
If the fuel nozzle still streaks, carbon is probably not the issue. Send the fuel nozzle to a
Rolls--Royce Authorized Maintenance Center for further inspection.

Use an approved cleaner to clean the disassembled nozzle parts ultrasonically. (Refer to
Summary of Consumable Materials, Table 302, 72--00--00, Engine--Servicing.)
CAUTION:
(2)
Apply light pressure with a soft cloth dampened with a petroleum or carbon solvent to
areas of the metering set and inner air shroud orifices to remove carbon particles not
completely removed by ultrasonic cleaning. Flow a sufficient quantity of fuel through the
metering set when you clean to prevent entry of carbon particles into the metering set.
(3)
External carbon on the air shroud can be removed with a wire brush and/or grit blast. You
must prevent damage to the threads and the wear surface of the air shroud when you use
the wire brush or grit blast. Do not wire brush or grit blast internal parts or surfaces.
CAUTION:
(4)
After the nozzle parts are cleaned ultrasonically, flush the nozzle parts with clean fuel,
acetone, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, or equivalent to make sure that all of the openings and
orifices are free of contamination from the cleaning solutions.
