An example system includes a controller configured to: receive pressure information indicative of a pressure level of the pressurized fuel between an electro-mechanical valve and an engine; based on the pressure level being below a first threshold pressure, send a first signal to open the electro-mechanical valve; determine, based on the pressure information, that the pressure level is increasing upon sending the first signal; in response to the pressure level increasing, send a second signal to activate a pump; determine that the pressure level has increased to a second threshold pressure; and provide information indicating that the engine is ready for operation.

Systems and methods for monitoring a fuel system

A fuel pump uses an expanding spring to pressurize liquid fuel and cause it to flow through a pump outlet port. A cam and cam follower cause a piston to move in a direction opposite to the pumping stroke in order to transfer fluid from a first chamber to a second chamber within the body of the pump. During the spring actuated pumping stroke, liquid fuel is drawn from a fuel reservoir into the first chamber of the pump for later transfer to the second chamber during the return stroke caused by the cam mechanism. A flexible shaft connects the cam to mechanism to a source of motive power to allow the pump to be displaced from the source of motive power and away from certain potential sources of heat.

Fuel pumping system

A connector combines a clamp member, an insert, and a conductor to provide a robust connection between a wire and an electrically conductive component. A set screw is used to provide a force in a clamping direction through the insert member and a segment of the conductor which is disposed in electrical communication and physical contact with an internal conductive portion of a wire.
