Abstract:
A fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine may include a plurality of fuel injection pumps, each fuel injection pump being configured to pressurize fuel and provide the pressurized fuel to an associated fuel injector. The fuel supply system may further include a low-pressure fuel supply line fluidly connected to the plurality of fuel injection pumps and configured to provide fuel from a fuel supply tank to the plurality of fuel injection pumps. The fuel supply system may still further include a low-pressure fuel return line fluidly connected to the plurality of fuel injection pumps and configured to return remaining fuel from the plurality of fuel injection pumps to the fuel supply tank. The fuel supply system may include a first fuel cut-off valve disposed in the low-pressure fuel supply line and configured to stop a flow of fuel from the fuel supply tank to the plurality of fuel injection pumps.
