High Pressure System

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The fuel injection pump at the front of the engine valley includes a fuel supply pump and a high-pressure pump. Fuel is drawn by the fuel supply pump from the primary fuel tank and delivered to the high-pressure pump. The pump is engine-driven by the camshaft gear. High pressure fuel is regulated by the fuel pressure regulator mounted on the fuel injection pump. From the high-pressure pump, the fuel moves to the left and right fuel rails through high pressure medal lines. Each fuel rail distributes high pressure fuel to one bank of 4 fuel injectors. The fuel pressure relief valve is location on the left rail, and relieves excessive fuel pressure which returns to the fuel tank.
