Maximum Fuel Pressure to Injection Pump

Maximum Fuel Pressure to Injection Pump

Maximum Fuel Pressure to Injection Pump

(OP)
Can anyone please let me know how I can calculate the fuel pressure before a diesel generator fuel pump from a gravity feed daily service tank.

The tank measures 2450mm wide x 1520 long x 1520 high and is sat on a stand 600 mm high.

The steel pipe out of the bottom outlet of the tank is 12 mm OD and runs for about 9 metres to the generator, with 5 bends in the pipe run.

Thanks for any help given

RE: Maximum Fuel Pressure to Injection Pump

Calculate the pressure loss in the pipe at diesel flowrate and subtract that from the pressure equivalent of the head between the low tank level and the inlet to the engine.
