Volvo Engine Piping and Lubrication System Piping Fuel Line Installation Fuel lines that are connected to the engine may not be of metal or have metal reinforcements. Metal can cause fuel leakages as static electricity may creep through the it and cause holes in the fuel line. The fuel lines must be run so that fuel is not heated by Volvo diesel engine  heat radiation. Refer to the technical data for the engine concerned for maximum fuel temperatures. The lines must be run as straight as possible without sharp bends. Make sure the lines are protected from mechanical wear and that they are securely fastened to avoid vibration damage. It is important that there are no leaks on either the suction or return line installations. Use approved materials in the fuel lines that tolerate biodiesel (FAME) such as: Rubber - Fluoro rubber FPM Plastic - Polyamide 6, PA6 - Polyamide 11, PA11 - Polyoxymethylene, POM - Polyethylene MDPE or HDPE Oth...

Engine Fuel System  of Volvo Penta Fuel System General A diesel engine requires that fuel injection components be supplied with clean fuel at the right temperature and pressure, and which is free from air and water. Diesel Fuel Quality and Function General Diesel fuel quality is crucial for engine function, service life and emissions. Volvo Penta's views concerning diesel fuel quality can be found in Sales Support Tool, Partner Network. Additives Volvo Penta's view concerning additives and alternative fuels can be found in Service Bulletin SB 18 – 8.8 Volvo Penta approves of a certain admixture of biodiesel (FAME), which places high demands on pipes, hoses and gaskets. For example, methyl esters in FAME are aggressive toward rubber products. Generally speaking, this aggressive effect increases with an increased admixture of FAME in diesel. As an example, soy-based methyl ester (SME) is more aggressive than rapeseedbased methyl...
