INTRODUCTION

This Service Bulletins informs you about the new design of fuel pump plunger and barrel which
will overcome the sticking of the fuel pump plunger in conjunction with the occasional tightness
experienced with the regulating linkage and with certain HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil) and lubricating
oil combinations.

1. NEW PLUNGER AND BARREL (Code No. H 55030)

To improve the running reliability especially when running with HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil) which has in
the past created the occasional problem with sticking plungers and regulating sleeves, the plunger and
the barrel for the fuel pump were redesigned.
The problem was mainly caused by clogging of the bores at the oil inlet, oil to the sleeve as well as at
the fuel oil drain bore, the formation of lacquer on the plunger running surface which reduced the
normal running clearance between plunger and barrel. The latter in turn also influenced the free and
easy movement of the regulating sleeve operated by the control linkage.
The new plunger is now equipped with grooves B (please refer to Figure 2 on the sketch below) to
reduce the contact area of the running surface and to improve the lubrication between plunger and
barrel with a larger quantity of fuel oil acting as a lubricant.

The barrel has now two grooves in the lower part, the upper groove C serves as drainage for any
leakage fuel and therefore replaces the function of the upper groove in the barrel of the previous
design. The plunger guide part is mainly lubricated by fuel oil and the interference between HFO and
lubricating oil is now taking place at the lower guide part.

1/2 Service Bulletin A-10


Clean lubricating oil enters the space to lubricate the regulating sleeve first and then from there the
lower groove D is supplied with lubricating oil which has a dual function:
1. Lubrication of the lower part of the plunger.
2. To form an oil barrier against leaking fuel.
Thus, the function is a similar one as that of the oil filled recess A with the upper groove (oil supply)
and the lower groove (oil outlet for regulating sleeve lubrication) on the previous design.

The new plunger and barrel Type 627 (H 55030) are fully interchangeable with the previous Type
316 and can be obtained from:
New Sulzer Diesel After Sales Service or through their Representatives.
