This element - the high pressure fuel pump - is the main part of the entire fuel injection system of diesel engines. The main functions of the fuel pump are pumping a certain amount of fuel under pressure and determination of the injection start moment. However, when appeared accumulator injection systems the function of the fuel injection time regulation passed to the electronically controlled injector. The basis of the fuel pump is a pump element, combining the piston and a small cylinder. Pump element is made of high-graded steel and high accuracy of manufacture adherence. Due to this between the piston and the cylinder there is a minimum gap, which is called a precision connection.

As for the design of the high pressure fuel pumps, they are of three types - in-line, dispenser and the main line. The first type of fuel pump – in-line – is characterized by the fact that the fuel is injected into the cylinder with a separate pump element. Regarding the dispenser pump we should note that it has one or more pump elements, which provide pumping and fuel injection through all cylinders. The third type of pump – main line - performs only one function. It pumps fuel into the accumulator.

In addition, this component is used in a system of direct injection of gasoline-powered cars. At the same time, it differs from the above fuel pump because its operating pressure is much lower than in the diesel pump. If workers of service centre diagnosed breakage or wear of high pressure fuel pump, you need to replace it with a new one.
