(common rail ENGINE)(common rail ENGINE)
(common rail ENGINE)
The fuel system for vehicles with common rail engines is made
up of the following elements:
• A fuel tank.
• A prefilter positioned between the tank and the electric
feed pump.
• An electric feed pump which moves the fuel from the tank to the
high pressure fuel pump.
• A fuel filter which also incorporates a fuel pre-heater, a fuel
temperature sensor, a fuel heater control, an obstructed filter
sensor and a sensor detecting water in fuel.
• A high pressure fuel pump, capable of supplying fuel to the
electro-injectors at a maximum pressure of 1350 kg.
• A hydraulic accumulator (rail) which also incorporates four
flow limitation valves, one pressure limitation valve and a
pressure sensor.
• Four fuel electro-injectors.
• An electro-valve which controls the rate of fuel to the thermo-
starter in the pre/post heating of air admitted when the
coolant temperature, air admitted or fuel is below 0ºC.
• A thermostarter spark pug attached at the intake manifold
which carries out pre/post heating when the ignition is on
and the coolant temperature is below 0ºC.
