Re: CIS-E hypothetical question

[ptimmerm@mashtun.JPL.NASA.GOV]

What would happen if the fuel pump/filter/accumulator was not providing
full spec pressure to the fuel distributor & associated control systems?
I know what happens if the fuel pump is significantly below spec, the
engine sputters and will not run under load (BTDT).  But, suppose the
pressure is, say, only 10-20% below spec.  Would the system work ok,
just at a lower power level?  Would it work, but some of the adjustment
systems would not function appropriately (i.e. differential pressure in
the fuel distributor)?

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Eric

Assuming the primary circuit had a flow pressure problem,
the secondary circuit would maintain proper pressure and
flow until the engine was under heavey load, then lean out.
This is not something you want to see with lots of boost.
Thus the constant this discussion of O2 sensors.
