Diesel Engine Fuel Separator-Purger

A Diesel Engine Fuel Separator-Purger is a component of the Engine Fuel System in non-aircraft applications. It is classified under the supply class Engine Fuel System Components, Nonaircraft, which falls under the supply group Engine Accessories.

The Diesel Engine Fuel Separator-Purger is responsible for separating water and contaminants from the fuel in a diesel engine. It ensures that only clean fuel is supplied to the engine, preventing any damage or performance issues.

The separator-purger typically consists of a housing, a fuel inlet, a water drain, and a fuel outlet. The contaminated fuel enters the separator-purger through the fuel inlet, where it is then passed through a series of filters and separators. These filters and separators remove any water, dirt, or other contaminants present in the fuel.

Once the fuel is purified, it is directed towards the fuel outlet, where it can then be supplied to the engine for combustion. Any separated water or contaminants are drained out of the system through the water drain.

Overall, the Diesel Engine Fuel Separator-Purger plays a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency and performance of a diesel engine by ensuring that only clean fuel is used.
