HURRICANE
F4
ENGINE
•
Late
Models.
The
Hurricane F4
engine
is equipped with a single-
action fuel pump (Fig.
E-31).
The fuel pump cam lever is activated by an eccentric on the
engine
camshaft. When the carburetor float
needle
valve
closes, accumulation of fuel in the pump
extends
the diaphragm spring.
This
action causes the rocker
arm
linkage to
become
inoperative until the pres
sure on the diaphragm and spring is reduced. The fuel pump discharge pressure is thus controlled by
the diaphragm spring.
This
provides a steady sup ply of fuel to the carburetor at a fairly constant
pressure.
E-61.
Fuel
Pump Removal
To
remove the fuel pump from the
engine,
dis
connect the inlet and
outlet
fuel lines. Remove
the two fuel pump

Fuel
Pump Testing
Whenever
the fuel pump is to be checked for pres
sure
or volume, follow the procedure outline in
Par.
C-23 of this manual.
Fuel
pump pressure is
important
for low pressure
will
seriously affect en
gine
operation and high pressure can cause exces
sive fuel consumption and flooding of the carbure
tor.
Should there be any doubt of normal opera
tion, check the procedure as outlined in Par. C-23.
In
addition to proper fuel pressure, volume of the
pump is also important. When testing for proper
pump pressure, be certain to also
test
for volume
as the pump may build up sufficient pressure, but
fail
to produce sufficient volume.

information is given in the Lubrication Section.
Refer
to and follow the instructions given there.
E-70. ACCELERATOR LINKAGE
The
accelerator linkage is properly adjusted when
the vehicle leaves the factory. However, in time
components parts
will
become
worn and require re
adjustment to maintain a smooth even control of
engine
speed. On Models equipped with F4
engines
the adjustment is made at the adjusting block,

Fuel
Tank
The
fuel tank on early model 'Jeep* Universal vehicles has a capacity of 10}4 gals. [38,75 ltr.] and
is mounted under the driver's seat. The tank is
secured to the front floor panel by a hold down
strap
and two bolts.
The
fuel tank on all late model 'Jeep* vehicles has a
capacity of 16 gal. [60,56 ltr.] and is mounted to
three frame
rail
brackets at the
rear
and center of
the frame. The tank is secured to the brackets by
three
bolts
and six rubber shock insulators. A fuel
tank
skid plate is attached to the
rear
frame cross- member to protect the
bottom
of the tank from damage.

E
portant that
these
lines are not accidentally re
versed.
When
installing the fuel tank on late model vehicles, position the tank
between
the frame
rail
to allow space to connect the fuel line(s), vent
hose
and
sending unit wire. After connecting
these
items, align and secure tank to frame brackets.
Position filler
hose
on tank filler neck and tighten
hose
clamp.
Fill
tank with fuel and check for leaks.
When
installing the fuel tank on early model vehicles, reverse the order of removal as given in
Par.
E-73.
E-75.
Fuel
Tank
Cap
A
surge pressure type fuel tank filler cap is used on
all
models.
This
is necessary to prevent fuel leakage
from
the cap vent opening when the vehicle is on a
side slope. Two spring loaded relief valves which
open when venting is required are built into the
cap.
Should the pressure valve
fail
to open, pressure
in
the tank may force fuel by the carburetor inlet
valve causing flooding.
Failure
of the vacuum valve may prevent flow of fuel to the carburetor. Should
the valves
fail
to vent install a new cap.
Note:
Vehicles having a
Fuel
Evaporative
Emis
sion System are equipped with a non-vent sealed gas cap. The sealed cap is designed to allow no
vapors to discharge to the atmosphere. No other type of cap is to be used on vehicles having this
type system.
E-76.
Fuel
Gauge Float Unit
The
fuel tank
gauge
float unit is mounted in the top
of the fuel tank and consists of a housing enclosing
a
rheostat that is actuated by the float arm, and a
float
which
moves
with the fuel level in the tank.
On
V-6 and current production F4
engine
equipped vehicles, the fuel
outlet
pipe is integral with the
float
unit.
The fuel
outlet
pipe has a mesh filter on the inner end.
Note:
Under no circumstances should a fuel tank
gauge
be installed without a mesh filter element.
The
filter,
outlet
pipe, and float unit are locked as
an
assembly to the top of the fuel tank. To remove,
turn
the lock plate that secures the float unit
assembly.
E-77.
Fuel
Lines
Check
lines and connections occasionally for leaks,
and
for severe kinks that might restrict the flow of
fuel. If an excessive amount of
dirt
is found in the
carburetor
or fuel pump, the fuel tank should be
drained
and the fuel lines blown out with com
pressed air.
All
rubber fuel lines and their respective clamps should be checked occasionally to be certain they
are
correctly positioned and not leaking. 133

GENERAL
The
major components of the exhaust system (Figs.
F-l,
F-2 and F-3) are the exhaust manifold(s), ex
haust pipe(s), muffler and tail pipe. Differences in
the exhaust system occur depending on whether the vehicle is equipped with the Hurricane F4 or
Dauntless V-6 engine.
Note:
For service information on exhaust emission
control systems, refer to Section Fl and F2 of this
manual.
F-2. Hurricane
F4 Engine Exhaust System
On
the Hurricane F4 engine, the exhaust and in
take manifolds are separate units. The intake mani
fold is cast as an integral part of the cylinder head
and
is completely water jacketed.
This
construction
transfers
heat from the cooling system to the in
take riser and assists in vaporizing the fuel when
the
engine
is cold.
With
this construction, there is no heat control
valve on the
engine
and the only function of the exhaust manifold is to gather and direct the exhaust

Engine
Exhaust System
Each
of two cylinder banks of a Dauntless V-6 engine has an exhaust manifold. On late production engines the right exhaust manifold is equipped
with
a heat collector manifold which supplies heated air to the air cleaner. See Fig. F-5.
Each
cylinder
exhausts through its own individual port
into a branch of its exhaust manifold. These
branches
conduct exhaust
gases
into the main mani
fold branch which connects the exhaust pipe to
the muffler. A thermally-actuated heat control valve is located at the
rear
of the right exhaust
manifold.
This
valve has a bimetal thermostatic
spring
which holds it closed when the engine is
cold.
In
closed position, the valve deflects exhaust
gases
upward
through a passage in the intake manifold to the left exhaust manifold.
This
aids in vaporizing
fuel,
speeds
engine warm-up, and reduces oil
dilution.
Since
the valve plate is offset-mounted, the valve
will
be forced partially open at higher engine speed
and
load.
This
prevents excessive back pressure. 138
