Component description of fuel distribution rail - GF07.61-P-6020V

ENGINE 273.961 in MODEL 216, 221 up to Model Year 8 

Shown on ENGINE 272 

Location 

The fuel distribution pipe is located at the intake manifold above the injection valves.

Task 

The fuel distribution pipe supplies fuel to the injection valves under any operating condition equally and in doing so, balances fluctuations in the fuel pressure, for example, in case of abrupt acceleration by the fuel pressure reservoir, and its own volume.

Design 

the injection valves are installed in the fuel distribution tube with an O-ring and a retaining clamp. The fuel feed at 3.8 bar system pressure is located at the left. A pressure gauge connection is located at the right.

Function 

Fuel is provided by the fuel distribution pipe in the sufficient quantity for each injection valve.

The pressure gauge connection with valve is used for testing the fuel pressure and for releasing the pressure when carrying out assembly operations.

Always install a new sealing ring after opening the pressure gauge connection.
