Item Description
1 High-pressure fuel rail supply fitting
2 Fuel return outlet port
3 Fuel supply inlet port
4 Fuel volume control valve (serviced separately or with the injection pump assembly)
5 High-pressure fuel rail supply fitting

The high-pressure fuel injection pump supply tube supplies fuel from the secondary fuel filter to the high-pressure fuel injection pump.

The fuel pressure control valve bleeds off excess fuel rail pressure.

The fuel volume control valve controls the volume of fuel entering the 2 cylinders of the injection pump.

The high-pressure fuel rails distribute fuel to each of the injectors via individual steel injector supply tubes.

The PCM uses the fuel rail pressure sensor to determine the actual fuel rail pressure.

The PCM controls the duty cycle of the volume control valve and the fuel pressure control valve to maintain fuel rail pressure.

The fuel injector sprays high-pressure fuel into the combustion chamber.
