 Topic: Injection Pump Question
Posted: 13 Nov 2016 at 2:26pm |

Question: Should the fuel being pumped out of the injector lines be pressurized, or only after it exits the injectors? In other words, is it normal for an injection pump to pump fuel at a "flow" rate out of the injector lines our should it be squirting out?

Keep in mind that the injector lines are much larger than the injector tip. I've opened lines and seen the fuel come out in what you might call drips.

The pump pumps unknown amount of pressure. The injector dumps the pressure when it gets to pressure the injector is set at (1250-3750 or more). There would be no end to the pressure the pump could pump. Until line or something else gave. MACK

Like mack says.....Imagine a garden hose running, then put your thumb over the end of it. The injector is like your thumb.

A general rule in any hydraulics, pumps create flow, not pressure. The pressure is created by a restriction, in this case the injector. Now, if you're trying to bleed a diesel fuel injection system and it still won't start, there is a good chance the fuel coming out the injection lines is just transfer pump flow, not actual injection pump chamber volume/flow. When they are working right, there's pretty good amount of force coming out the injection lines, so they should squirt out the lines with authority. Just dribbling may indicate the injection pump isn't pumping the volume it is supposed to, either it's worn out, or something is sticking.
