Fuel supply system

DIESEL forklift

Fuel Tank

This is where diesel fuel is stored. It typically sits beneath the operator's seat or at the rear of the forklift.

Fuel Filter

The fuel filter removes impurities and contaminants from the diesel fuel before it enters the engine. This helps ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.

Fuel Pump

The fuel pump is responsible for pumping diesel fuel from the tank to the engine. In some forklifts, this may be a mechanical pump, while in others, it could be an electric pump.

Fuel Injectors

Fuel injectors are responsible for delivering precise amounts of diesel fuel into the combustion chamber at the right moment. This is crucial for proper combustion and power generation.

Fuel Lines

These are the pipes or hoses that carry diesel fuel from the tank to the engine, passing through the fuel filter and pump along the way. They need to be sturdy and well-maintained to prevent leaks or blockages.

Fuel Pressure Regulator

This component regulates the pressure of the fuel being delivered to the engine. Consistent fuel pressure is essential for optimal engine performance.

Fuel Rail

In some diesel engines, fuel is delivered to the injectors through a fuel rail, which acts as a manifold to distribute fuel evenly to each injector.

Return Line

Excess fuel that's not used by the engine is sent back to the fuel tank through the return line. This helps maintain consistent fuel pressure and prevents overheating of the fuel.

Fuel Gauge

A fuel gauge on the dashboard or instrument panel indicates the level of diesel fuel in the tank, allowing the operator to monitor fuel levels and plan refueling accordingly.

LPG forklift

LPG Tank

This is where the liquefied petroleum gas is stored. It's usually mounted on the rear of the forklift.

Fuel Lines

These are the pipes that carry the LPG from the tank to the engine. They are typically made of durable materials to withstand the pressure and chemical properties of LPG.

Fuel Regulator

The regulator controls the pressure of the LPG as it flows from the tank to the engine. It ensures that the correct pressure is maintained for optimal engine performance.

Fuel Mixer

In some forklifts, especially older models, a fuel mixer is used to mix the LPG with air before it enters the engine. This mixture is then fed into the engine's combustion chambers.

Sensors and Control Units

Some forklifts may be equipped with sensors and control units that monitor and regulate various parameters of the fuel system, such as fuel pressure, air-fuel ratio, and engine performance. These components help optimize fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
