Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The fuel supply system of a diesel engine is mainly divided into a low-pressure circuit and a high-pressure one. The feed pump (or transfer pump) belongs to the low-pressure circuit and has the specific task of drawing the diesel fuel from the tank and sending it through the filters to the injection pump. For its part, the injection pump works at high pressure to meter and supply the fuel to the injectors at the precise moment. The pistons draw only air into the cylinders during the intake stroke, not fuel from the tank.
