The fuel system stores, filters, pressurises and delivers fuel to the combustion chamber at the right moment and in the right quantity. This group covers injectors, injection and lift pumps, fuel rails on common rail engines, filters and water separators, and low-pressure lines. Perkins has used mechanical injection across older ranges and electronic injection on the 1000 and 2000 Series, with electronic control on the 4000 Series, so the correct components depend on the specific engine build. Generating sets that spend long periods stationary between runs face a particular problem: fuel degrades in storage, and water condensing in the tank reaches the injection system on start-up.

Fuel degrades during long periods of storage and water condenses in the tank. On start-up this reaches the injection system, causing wear and blockage. Regular fuel polishing and testing prevents it.
The 1000 and 2000 Series use electronic injection and the 4000 Series uses electronic control, while older ranges are mechanical. The engine serial number confirms which.
Many can be overhauled and flow-tested by a specialist. Testing is essential because fuelling must be matched across the set.
