2. Aircraft fuel system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_fuel_system

   In some aircraft, the shut-off function is a different valve located after the fuel selector valve. Typically, after the selector valve—situated at a low point in the fuel run—there is a gascolator — a fuel filter that can be opened on the ground and drained of fuel impurities denser than petroleum, mainly water and sediment. Other ...

   A shutdown valve (also referred to as SDV or emergency shutdown valve, ESV, ESD, or ESDV; or safety shutoff valve) is an actuated valve designed to stop the flow of a hazardous fluid upon the detection of a dangerous event. This provides protection against possible harm to people, equipment or the environment.

4. Electronic Diesel Control - Wikipedia

   EDC injection inline pump. The mechanical fly-weight governors of inline and distributor diesel fuel injection pumps used to control fuel delivery in diesel engines under a variety of engine loads and conditions could no longer deal with the ever-increasing demands for efficiency, emission control, power and fuel consumption. These demands are ...

5. Cummins X-series engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cummins_X-series_engine

   The fuel system uses an Integrated Fuel System Module (IFSM) with a lift pump, gear pump, pressure regulators, shutoff valve, metering and timing actuators to deliver fuel to the injectors. It has a one piece valve cover that is either plastic or on older models a chrome plated steel cover otherwise known as the Signature 600 or ISX CM570.

6. Petcock - Wikipedia

7. Fuel control unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_control_unit

   A fuel control unit attempts to solve those problems by acting as an intermediary between the operator's controls and the fuel valve. The operator has a power lever which only controls the engine's potential, not the actual fuel flow. The fuel control unit acts as a computer to determine the amount of fuel needed to deliver the power requested ...
