What is the maximum fuel pressure in a unit injector system?
What is the maximum fuel pressure in a unit injector system?
2,200 bar
The unit injector system enables high injection pressures up to 2,200 bar.
What is the difference between inline pump and rotary pump?
An inline pump has multiple high-pressure pumps; one for each cylinder. This one has six pumps, one under each outlet port. A distributor pump has ONE high-pressure pump and uses a rotary valve to distribute high-pressure fuel to each cylinder.
Why do I have a problem with my fuel injection pump?
Fuel injection problems, therefore, are one of the most pressing engine issues to deal with. Whether you’ve experienced fuel injector failure or not, it helps to understand the fuel injector pump, how it relates to engine performance, and also how diesel fuel injection pumps differ from traditional gasoline-powered units.
What’s the pressure of a diesel injector pump?
Today’s diesel fuel injection pumps are under pressure – even more pressure than what was once considered “normal.” Around 15-20 years ago, it was common for fuel injector pumps to process fuel in a system at around 10,000 to 15,000 psi (pounds per square inch). But that’s only about half of what engines are expected to do today.
What happens if the fuel injector doesn’t close?
If the injector can’t close, cylinder performance is compromised. Whenever the fuel injector pump’s O-rings or ball seats are defective, the timing of the fuel transfer process is disrupted. This is a common diesel fuel injector pump glitch, and usually requires a complete injection pump rebuild or replacement.
Can a bad sensor cause a fuel pump to fail?
While a failed sensor cannot cause a pump to fail, it can cause you to misdiagnose a high-pressure fuel pump. Direct-injection systems use pressure and in some cases temperature sensors to help determine position of the high-pressure pump solenoid.
What happens if fuel injector fails in Duramax?
Pump failures can reportedly destroy the injectors, leave metal shavings in your fuel lines (requiring replacement of the entire system), and in some cases, crack the gear and throw it through the engine’s front timing cover. Per an article by Race Ready Fabrication, the CP4 fuel injection pump was introduced to reduce costs.

When did the 6.5 diesel injection pump come out?
In mid-1996 GM implemented a redesigned engine cooling system incorporating twin non bypass-blocking thermostats and a 130 GPM water pump. This improved the flow through the block by 70-75% and flow to the radiator 7%. Through the years there were many different variations in the 6.5 diesel injection pumps.
What causes a CP4 injection pump to fail?
The short answer: lack of lubricity. Lubricity is most commonly defined as the ability of a fluid to minimize the degree of friction between surfaces in relative motion under load conditions. The CP4 injection pump creates higher pressures with less volume than its predecessor, the CP3 pump.
