Figure  1-18.-Catalytic  converter. NOTE:  The cetane number is a measure of the ability  of  a  diesel  fuel  to  provide  fast  spontaneous combustion with short ignition delay. A knock in a diesel engine is caused by the fuel igniting too slowly. Jet Fuel You may be deployed to some sites at which diesel fuel is not available and JET FUEL has to be used. The three major types of jet fuel used by the military are JP-4, JET-A1,  and  JP-5.  DO  NOT  USE  JP-4  IN  ANY DIESEL  ENGINE.  The   maintenance   supervisor approves  the  use  of  JET-A1  and  JP-5  and  directs  the amount of engine oil that must be added to the jet fuel. This must be done to improve the lubricating qualities that  prevent  the  injector  pump  and  injectors  from seizing. FUEL  FILTERS Fuel  filters  trap  foreign  material  that  may  be  present in the fuel and prevent it from entering the carburetor or sensitive fuel injection components. Gasoline Fuel Filter On a gasoline engine system there is at least one fuel filter used in the fuel system and it can be located in any accessible place along the fuel delivery line. Filters also can be located inside fuel tanks, carburetors, and fuel pumps. 1-15 rrm    1 nw
