The ISBe4 engine name is derived from many sources:
The IS portion of the name represents the Interact System. The Interact System is Cummins
automotive/on-highway full-authority electronic engine control system.
The B portion of the name represents the engine family. The ISBe4 is part of the B series mid-
range engine family.
The e4 portion of the name represents the specific market and emissions regulation stage
within that market. The ISBe4 is designed for the European stage 4 market.
Scene Number: 0041 1030
Audio
The ISBe4 engines have been designed for the European market and are certified to meet the
requirements of Euro 4 European on-highway emissions legislation. Euro 4 legislation applies to
new vehicle type approvals from Oct 2005 and all registrations by Oct 2006.

assembly used on previous common rail equipped B series engines. The assembly contains a gear
pump, an EFC valve with associated wiring and external plumbing.
 Scene Number: 0041 1150
Audio
At engine shutdown, the ECM causes the electronic fuel control valve to shut off the flow of
fuel to the fuel rail.
Scene Number: 0041 1160
Audio
Due to the closer tolerances of a High Pressure Common Rail fuel system, an additional 25
micron pre-filter is required to be mounted by the OEM between the fuel tank and the gear
pump, which is mounted on the high pressure fuel pump assembly.
Scene Number: 0041 1170
Audio
Filtering is provided by a 3 micron primary fuel filter mounted on the pressure side of the gear
pump.

Audio
A new style quick disconnect low pressure fuel line connector is used at several locations on
the low pressure side of the fuel system.
Scene Number: 0041 1190
Audio
The quick disconnect is removed by pressing the two tabs inward that are located on the
connector. This allows the internal white clip ring to expand around the shoulder on the fuel line
fitting. The fuel line quick disconnect can then be pulled from the shouldered fuel line fitting.

Scene Number: 0041 1200

Audio
The high-pressure fuel lines connect the fuel rail to the individual fuel connectors.
Scene Number: 0041 1220
Audio
An all-in-one drain line from the fuel rail, the injector drain and the fuel pump drain is used to
route the drain fuel to the fuel return manifold and onto the tank.
Scene Number: 0041 1230
Audio
The fuel rail stores fuel and prevents pressure fluctuations by utilizing the elasticity of the
volume of fuel contained in the rail to dampen pressure spikes.

the outside of the plates. The actual number of plates will vary depending on application and
horsepower.
Scene Number: 0041 1490
Audio
All ISBe4 engines have J Jet piston cooling nozzles. These engines also use a gallery cooled
piston design.
Oil from the J Jet piston cooling nozzles is directed into an oil gallery in the piston crown. This
design allows oil to absorb additional heat from the piston crown when compared to other piston
cooling methods.
 Scene Number: 0041 1500
Audio
