DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
General
The fuel delivery system comprises a fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, five injectors and a fuel filter.
The system is controlled by the ECM, which energises the fuel pump relay and controls the operation and timing
of each injector solenoid.
Unlike other Diesel engines, the Td5 has no injection pump. The diesel direct injection system receives fuel at
pressure from a two stage fuel pump located in the fuel tank. The system incorporates a fuel return to the fuel
pump, via a fuel cooler attached to the inlet manifold, and a fuel filter. A fuel pressure regulator is located in a
housing on the rear of the cylinder head. The regulator maintains the fuel delivered to the injectors at a constant
pressure and returns excess fuel back to the fuel filter and pump via the fuel cooler.
A fuel filter is positioned on the chassis longitudinal, below the RH rear wheel arch. The fuel feed and return to and
from the engine passes through the filter. The filter also incorporates a water sensor, which illuminates a warning
lamp in the instrument pack.
A moulded fuel tank is located at the rear underside of the vehicle between the chassis longitudinals. The tank
provides the attachment for the fuel pump and the fuel gauge sender unit, which is located inside the tank.
Fuel Tank and Breather
The fuel tank and breather system is a major part of the fuel delivery system. The fuel tank and breathers are
located at the rear of the vehicle between the chassis longitudinals.
Fuel Tank
The moulded fuel tank is made from High Molecular Weight (HMW) High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), and is
manufactured using a proportion of recycled plastic.
The tank is held in position by a metal cradle which is secured to the chassis cross members by four bolts, two
holding the front of the cradle in position, two holding the rear. The fuel tank has a useable capacity of 75 litres
(16.5 gallons).
An aperture in the top surface of the tank allows for the fitment of the fuel pump and fuel gauge sender unit, which
is retained with a locking ring. A reflective metallic covering is attached to the tank with three scrivets to shield the
tank from heat generated by the exhaust system.
Fuel Tank Breather System
The fuel tank filler tube incorporates a tank vent which allows air and fuel vapour displaced from the tank when
filling to vent to atmosphere via the filler neck.
A breather spout within the tank controls the tank’Full’height. When fuel covers the spout it prevents fuel vapour
and air from escaping from the tank. This causes the fuel to’back-up’in the filler tube and shuts off the filler gun.
The position of the spout ensures that when the filler gun shuts off, a vapour space of approximately 10% of the
tanks total capacity remains. The vapour space ensures that the Roll Over Value (ROV) is always above the fuel
level and vapour can escape and allow the tank to breathe.
The ROV is welded to the top surface of the tank. It is connected by a tube to the filler tube, which in turn is
connected to the atmospheric vent pipe. The ROV allows fuel vapour to pass through it during normal vehicle
operation. In the event of the vehicle being overturned the valve shuts off, sealing the tank and preventing fuel
from spilling from the atmospheric vent pipe.

The five injectors are located in the cylinder head adjacent the camshaft, with the nozzle of each injector
protruding directly into the cylinder. Each injector is sealed into the cylinder head with a’O’ring and copper
washer and secured with a clamp and bolt.
Each injector is operated mechanically by an overhead camshaft and rocker, and electrically by a solenoid
controlled by the ECM. Each injector is supplied with pressurised fuel from the pump via the regulator housing and
internal drillings in the cylinder head.
The solenoid housing is secured to the injector body with two cap screws and is a sealed unit. It has a two pin
electrical connector on its top face.
The injector body is machined from a forging. The body has a machined central bore which locates the push rod.
A thread on the outer diameter provides the attachment for the nozzle cap nut. The body also provides attachment
for the solenoid housing.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The injector push rod is operated from the rocker and cam assembly by a sprocket. The push rod is located in the
housing bore and retained in its extended position by a push rod return spring. The powerful spring ensures that
the push rod socket is always in contact with the rocking lever and the cam.
The lower part of the injector housing locates the spring loaded nozzle. The nozzle is retained in the housing by a
nozzle cap nut which is screwed onto the housing. The nozzle cap nut has four holes around its circumference
which connect to the fuel pump drilling in the cylinder head. The injector housing has ports located above the
nozzle cap nut which connect with the fuel delivery drilling in the cylinder head. An’O’ring seals the injector in the
machined location in the cylinder head and a copper washer seals the injector from the combustion chamber.
The injectors are supplied with pressurised fuel from the fuel pump via the pressure regulator housing and internal
drillings in the cylinder head. Each injector sprays fuel directly into the cylinder at approximately 1500 bar (22000
lbf.in) atomising the fuel and mixing it with intake air prior to combustion.
The camshaft and rocker arrangement depresses the push rod which pressurises the fuel within the injector.
When the injector is required to inject fuel into the cylinder, the ECM energises the solenoid which closes a valve
within the solenoid housing. The closure of the valve stops the fuel entering the return line to the pump, trapping it
in the injector. The compression of the fuel by the push rod causes rapid pressurisation of the fuel which lifts the
injector nozzle, forcing the fuel into the cylinder at high pressure. The ECM controls the injection timing by altering
the time at which the solenoid is energised and the injection period by controlling the period for which the solenoid
is energised.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
General
The diesel engine has the inlet manifold attached to the right hand side of the engine and the exhaust manifold
attached to the left hand side of the engine. The inlet manifold directs cooled compressed air from the
turbocharger and intercooler into the cylinders, where it is mixed with fuel from the injectors. Exhaust gases from
the exhaust manifold can also be directed into the inlet manifold via a pipe from the exhaust manifold and an
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve on the inlet manifold. The exhaust manifold allows combustion gases from
the cylinders to leave the engine where they are directed into the exhaust system and turbocharger.
The exhaust system is attached to the turbocharger and is directed along the underside of the vehicle to emit
exhaust gases from a tail pipe at the rear of the vehicle. A silencer is installed midway along the system and a
second tail silencer is located at the rear of the vehicle.
Inlet manifold
The inlet manifold is a one piece aluminium casting. The manifold is secured to the cylinder head with two studs
and flanged nuts and eight flanged bolts. A one piece laminated gasket seals the manifold to the cylinder head.
Four threaded bosses on the manifold provide for the attachment of the fuel cooler. The fuel cooler is secured to
the manifold with four bolts. A boss with two threaded holes allows for the attachment of the combined intake air
temperature/pressure sensor. The sensor is secured to the manifold with two screws and sealed with a gasket.
At the forward end of the manifold, a machined face and four threaded holes provide for the attachment of the
EGR valve. The valve is sealed to the manifold with a gasket.
Exhaust manifold
The exhaust manifold is made from cast iron. The manifold has five ports, one from each cylinder, which merge
into one flanged outlet connection positioned centrally on the manifold.
The manifold is attached to the cylinder head with ten studs and flanged nuts. A laminated metal gasket seals the
manifold to the cylinder head. The flanged outlet on the manifold provides the attachment for the turbocharger,
which is attached with three studs and flanged nuts and sealed with a metal laminated gasket.
A second flanged outlet, located at the forward end of the manifold, provides attachment for the EGR pipe. The
EGR pipe is secured to the manifold with two cap screws and connected to the EGR valve mounted on the inlet
manifold. There is no gasket used between the pipe and the exhaust manifold.
Exhaust system
The exhaust system comprises a front pipe, an intermediate pipe which incorporates a silencer and a tail pipe
assembly which also has a silencer. The exhaust system is constructed mainly of 63 mm (2.48 in) diameter
extruded pipe with a 1.5 mm (0.06 in) wall thickness. All pipes are aluminized to resist corrosion and the silencers
are fabricated from stainless steel sheet.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Front pipe assembly
The front pipe is of welded and fabricated tubular construction. The front pipe is connected to a flange on the
turbocharger and secured with three flanged nuts and sealed with a metal laminated gasket. The front pipe
incorporates a flexible pipe near the connection with the turbocharger and terminates in a flanged connection with
the intermediate pipe.
The flexible pipe is formed into a concertina shape with woven metal strands around its outer diameter. The
flexible pipe allows for ease of exhaust system alignment and also absorbs engine vibration. The woven metal
strands also increase the longevity of the flexible pipe.
The front pipe is attached via a bracket and a mounting rubber to the chassis. The mounting rubber allows ease of
alignment and vibration absorption.
Intermediate pipe and silencer
The intermediate pipe is of welded and fabricated tubular construction. It connects at its forward end to the front
pipe flange. Two captive studs on the intermediate pipe flange allow for attachment to the front pipe with locknuts.
The rear section of intermediate pipe connects to the tail pipe assembly via a flanged joint, sealed with a metal
gasket and secured with locknuts and studs.
The forward and rear sections are joined by a silencer. The silencer is fabricated from stainless steel sheet to form
the body of the silencer. An end plate closes each end of the silencer and is attached to the body with seam joints.
Perforated baffle tubes, inside the silencer, are connected to the inlet and outlet pipes on each end plate. Internal
baffle plates support the baffle tubes and, together with a stainless steel fibre packing, absorb combustion noise
as the exhaust gases pass through the silencer.
The intermediate pipe is attached by two brackets, positioned at each end of the silencer, and two mounting
rubbers to the chassis. The mounting rubber allows for ease of alignment and vibration absorption.
Tail pipe assembly
The tail pipe is of welded and fabricated construction. The tail pipe connects to the intermediate pipe with a
flanged joint secured with locknuts and sealed with a metal gasket. The pipe is shaped to locate above the rear
axle allowing clearance for axle articulation. The pipe is also curved to clear the left hand side of the fuel tank
which has a reflective shield to protect the tank from heat generated from the pipe.
A fabricated silencer is located at the rear of the tail pipe. The silencer is circular in section and is constructed from
stainless steel sheet. A baffle tube is located inside the silencer and the space around the baffle tube is packed
with a stainless steel fibre. The holes in the baffle tube allow the packing to further reduce combustion noise from
the engine. The tail pipe from the silencer is curved downwards at the rear of the vehicle and directs exhaust
gases towards the ground. The curved pipe allows the exhaust gases to be dissipated by the airflow under the
vehicle and prevents the gases from being drawn behind the vehicle.
The tail pipe is attached by a bracket, positioned forward of the silencer, and a mounting rubber to the chassis.
The mounting rubber allows ease of alignment and vibration absorption.
