Engine Fuel Flow
• The fuel pump, located in the
Horizontal Fuel Conditioning
Module (HFCM), draws fuel from
the fuel tank and through a 10
micron fuel filter.
• The HFCM contains the fuel pump,
filter, water separator, water in fuel
switch, fuel drain, fuel heater, and
diesel thermo recirculation valve
(DTRM).
• The DTRM controls the flow of fuel
returned from the secondary filter
through the HFCM. If the fuel being
drawn from the fuel tank is cool
then return fuel is recirculated into
the pump, if it is warm then return
fuel is sent to the fuel tank
