Parts of Main engine fuel oil pump line

Inlet from circulating pump goes to a fuel inlet line with a shock absorber at the end and then to the fuel inlet opening of fuel pump. The return from injector and fuel pump outlet is given to fuel return
valves with non-return valves. Fuel pump return has an orifice pipe and return to an overflow arrangement. The leakage detection tank is for high pressure pipe.

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).
