Fuel tank KamAZ-43101
FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR KAMAZ VEHICLES ENGINES - PART 1
The fuel supply system ensures fuel purification and its uniform distribution throughout the engine cylinders in strictly dosed portions. KamAZ engines use a split-type fuel supply system, consisting of a high-pressure fuel pump, injectors, coarse and fine filters, a low-pressure fuel booster pump, low- and high-pressure fuel lines, fuel tanks, a solenoid valve and flare spark plugs for an electric torch starting device.
A schematic diagram of the power system is shown in Fig. 35. Fuel from tank 1 is sucked through the coarse filter 2 by the fuel priming pump and through the fine filter 17 through low pressure fuel lines 3, 9, 15, 21 and supplied to the high pressure fuel pump; according to the operating order of the engine cylinders, the pump distributes fuel through high-pressure pipelines 6 to injectors 5. The injectors spray and inject fuel into the combustion chambers. Excess fuel, and along with it the air that has entered the system, is discharged into the fuel tank through the bypass valve of the high-pressure fuel pump and the fine filter nozzle valve via fuel drain lines 16 and 18. The fuel that has leaked through the gap between the nozzle body and the needle is drained into the tank through fuel drain lines 4, 14, 20.

Engine fuel supply diagram: 1 - fuel tank; 2 — fuel coarse filter; 3 — fuel pipe supplying the low pressure pump; 4 — fuel drainage pipe of the left head injectors; 5 - nozzle; 6 - high pressure fuel pipe; 7 — low pressure fuel priming pump; 8 — manual fuel priming pump; 9 — fuel outlet pipe of the low pressure pump; 10 — high pressure fuel pump; 11 — electromagnetic valve; 12-fuel pipe to the solenoid valve; 13 — torch candle; 14 — fuel drain pipe for right-hand injectors; 15 — fuel injection pipe; 16 — fuel outlet pipe of the injection pump; 17 — fine fuel filter; 18 — fuel fine filter tube; 19 — tee for fastening fuel pipes; 20 — fuel drain pipe; 21 — fuel line to the coarse filter; 22 — receiving pipe with filter
The coarse filter (sump) (Fig. 36) pre-cleanses the fuel entering the low-pressure fuel priming pump. It is installed on the suction line of the power system on the left side of the vehicle on the frame.
Glass 2 is connected to housing 10 with four bolts 7 and sealed with ring 9. A drain plug 1 is screwed into the bottom of the cap boss. The fuel coming from the fuel tank through the supply fitting flows into the glasses. Large particles and water collect at the bottom of the glass. From the upper part, through filter mesh 4, fuel is supplied to the fuel priming pump through the outlet fitting and fuel lines.
A fine filter (Fig. 37), which finally cleans the fuel before entering the high-pressure fuel pump, is installed at the highest point of the power system to collect and remove into the tank the air that has entered the power system along with part of the fuel through a nozzle valve installed in the housing 1. The beginning of the shift of valve-nozzle 4 (Fig. 38) occurs at a pressure in the cavity of 24.5... 44.1 kPa (0.25... 0.45 kgf/cm2), and the beginning of fuel bypass from cavity A to cavity B - at a pressure in cavity A of 196.2... 235.3 kPa (2.0... 2.4 kgf/cm2). The valve is adjusted by selecting adjusting washers 1 inside the valve plug.
Fuel lines are divided into fuel lines of low pressure 392... 1961 kPa (4... 20 kgf/cm2) and high pressure of more than 19614 kPa (200 kgf/cm2). High-pressure fuel lines are made of steel tubes, the ends of which are made cone-shaped, pressed with union nuts through washers to the conical sockets of the fuel pump and injector fittings. To avoid damage from vibration, the fuel lines are secured with brackets and brackets.
The high-pressure fuel pump is designed to supply strictly dosed portions of fuel under high pressure to the engine cylinders at certain times. Eight sections are installed in housing 1 (Fig. 39), each consisting of housing 17, sleeve 16 of plunger 11, rotary sleeve 10, discharge valve 19, pressed through sealing gasket 18 to the plunger sleeve
fitting 20. The plunger performs a reciprocating movement under the action of the shaft cam 44 and spring 8. The pusher is secured from rotation in the housing by a block 6. The cam shaft rotates in roller bearings 42 installed in the covers and attached to the pump body. The axial clearance of the cam shaft is adjusted by shims 48. The clearance should be no more than 0.1 mm.
To increase the fuel supply, the plunger 11 is rotated by a sleeve 10 connected through the axis of the driver to the pump rack 15. The rack moves in guide bushings 57. Its protruding end is closed with a plug 54. On the opposite side of the pump there is a screw that regulates the fuel supply to all sections of the pump. This screw is capped and sealed.
Fuel is supplied to the pump through a special fitting, to which a low pressure pipe is bolted. Then, through the channels in the body, it flows to the inlet holes of the 16 plunger bushings.

What they write on the forums: reviews of KamAZ-43101 owners and drivers
Efim Evstigneev, 55 years old, Krasnoyarsk Territory:
I have owned a KamAZ-43101 timber truck for more than ten years. When purchasing, the main criterion was the vehicle's cross-country ability: there are no roads where I work. I was not mistaken in my choice - this is truly an all-terrain vehicle: it goes through mud and will get out of any swamp. The engine, gearbox and clutch are very easy to maintain and repair; it is important not to forget to maintain and lubricate them on time. I won’t talk about comfort in the cabin: what’s missing is missing, the green color makes me happy – dirt isn’t so visible.
