Problem whith TK RD II TCI

[dandan]

Hello
Nice to meet you
I come from France
I've a TK RD TCI and I don't arrive to turn it on
I've battery, not fuel in the circuit but some fuel in the reservoir
I don't know how to initiate the pump
Is there a manual pump to initiate ?
And I don't where is the pump and how is it



I hope you understand my problem
Thanks

There is no hand pump.
How to refuel the fuel remove the fuel filter, fill it and try to ignite diesel generator.
The Carrier is simply the electric pump and do not have this problem http://www.refrigeration-engineer.com/forums/images/VA_RE/buttons/quote.gif (http://www.refrigeration-engineer.com/forums/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=212846)

I wasn't sure that it's the pump or a fuel heater
I have 12 volts on the pump just when the motor turn
So we need to be two to control the voltage and try to start the motor
Is that right ??
Thanks a lot

There is a bleed screw on the the fuel inlet to the injection pump. Remove the pump electrical plug and connect the pump to a separate 12v supply (loose battery, start help etc). Open the bleed screw until there is clean, air free diesel and close. Connect the plug and start in the normal way. If the unit has been standing for a long time, first, carefully remove the fuel filter and fill with new, clean diesel, then refit.

that picture is the fuel pump.
Run two wires from the battery to it and power it up it should start running quite fast making then as pressure builds up it will run slow and make a ticking noise. If it doesn't work or carries on pumping fast after say a minute its no good.

Leave it running for five minutes independant of the fridge.

No need to to open any screws etc.. as the fridge has a fuel return line so it will pump around the circuit.

Reconnect the fuel pump to the two fridge wires. Turn on fridge, check pump is working. All then should work O.K.

if the pump buzzes quickly it may be air locked and you will need to release the outlet pipe so that the pump will suck fuel up from the tank
