The fuel lift pump (4a) draws the fuel from the fuel
tank (1) through the cooling plate (2) of the
electronic unit (3).
The purpose of the cooling plate (3) is to ensure
that the electronic unit does not become too hot.
The fuel lift pump (4a) is fitted against the highpressure pump (4c) and is driven by the camshaft
gear.
From the fuel lift pump, fuel is forced towards the
fuel fine filter (5).
After the filter, the fuel enters the high-pressure
pump (4c) via the fuel pump control solenoid
valve (4b), which controls the amount of fuel
going to the high-pressure pump. Fuel not taken
in by the high-pressure pump returns via the bypass valve (4d) to the fuel lift pump supply pipe
and part of it is used for lubricating the highpressure pump.
The high-pressure pump forces the fuel under
high pressure to the fuel rail (6). The fuel rail
distributes the fuel among the injectors (7). The
fuel rail (6) also functions as an accumulator to
ensure that large fluctuations in pressure,
resulting from injector openings and pump
pressure pulses, are prevented as much as
possible.
The pressure in the fuel rail is registered by the
rail pressure sensor (6a). The electronic unit uses
this data to control the high-pressure pump (via
the fuel pump control solenoid valve), so that the
rail pressure can be kept at the desired level. The
desired pressure is not constant, but depends on
the operating conditions.
A pressure relief valve (6b) is fitted at the end of
the fuel rail. If the pressure in the fuel rail rises too
high (in emergencies only), this valve ensures
that the excess fuel flows back to the return pipe.
The return pipe is connected with the return pipe
to the fuel tank (1).
The electronic unit uses the present rail pressure
to calculate the time during which the injector
needs to be opened in order to obtain the desired
injection quantity.
A pressure relief valve (8) connects the injector
leak-off ducts in the cylinder head with the return
pipe to the fuel tank (1). This pressure relief valve
prevents the fuel from flowing out of the injectors
when the engine has stopped running.
ΛΦ45/55 series
If the system has been "open", the fuel system
can be bled using the primer pump (2a), which is
integrated in the water separator/coarse filter
(2b).
The return pipe to the tank contains a check valve
(9), which is normally closed. As soon as the
quick release coupling on the fine filter head is
disconnected, the return pipe closes so that it
cannot empty.
The high-pressure pump is driven by the
crankshaft by means of the camshaft gear. The
pump shaft rotates at a speed 1.33 times the
speed of the crankshaft. The pump shaft drives
the fuel lift pump. The fuel drawn from the suction
side by the gears is discharged through the exit
by the gears due to the reduction in volume. The
fuel lift pump has two added valves. The first
valve (1) limits the pump pressure, for example if
the fine filter is blocked. The second valve (2)
opens the by-pass over the fuel lift pump when
the primer pump is being used.
The high-pressure pump shaft (1) has an
eccentric. The eccentric drives the eccentric ring
(4). The pump plungers (3) are driven by the
eccentric ring and pushed back by the spring (2).

The fuel is supplied via the connection (5) and
then internally distributed among the three pump
elements. Before it is distributed among the pump
elements, the supplied fuel is dosed by means of
the fuel pump control solenoid valve (6).
The fuel pump control solenoid valve is controlled
by the electronic unit on the basis of the rail
pressure sensor signal. This creates a closed
control circuit. The fuel pump control solenoid
valve is "normally open" and is activated via duty
cycle control. The value when the engine is
started is fixed. When the measured pressure
deviates from the desired (programmed)
pressure, the duty cycle value will be adapted
until the measured and the desired values
correspond. If this is impossible, the electronic
unit will generate a warning and record a fault
code.
During the downward stroke, the fuel is supplied
by the fuel lift pump via the suction valve (9) (see
illustration on left). During the delivery stroke
(illustration on right), the suction valve closes
under the load of the spring (8) and the fuel
pressure that has built up. The fuel leaves the
pump element via the delivery valve (10). The
compressed fuel from the three pump elements is
collected in the pump housing and leaves the
pump via a joint high-pressure connection.
Leaking fuel from the pump elements is
discharged via the return connection.
The fuel lift pump has over-capacity in relation to
the high-pressure pump. If there is only limited
fuel off-take on the rail, the fuel pump control
solenoid valve will be virtually closed. The oversupplied fuel will cause an increase in pressure at
the inlet of the fuel pump control solenoid valve.
The pressure is limited by the circulation valve
(7). If the valve is open, the excess supplied fuel
will be returned to the suction side of the fuel lift
pump. A small amount of fuel is diverted via a
restriction to the shaft and the eccentric of the
high-pressure pump for lubrication.

When bleeding with the primer pump, any air
bubbles will be carried along by the fuel through
the low-pressure circuit. Fuel is forced inwards at
the connection (5). The fuel pump control
solenoid valve is opened fully without being
energised, so that the fuel can pass. The pump
elements create a high resistance to the fuel, so
that the fuel will escape via the lubricating
restriction in the pump. In this way the fuel, along
with any air bubbles, is discharged to the return
pipe.
The high-pressure pump has an over-capacity for
normal operating conditions. This could lead to
large quantities of fuel being forced at high
pressure to the fuel rail and then directly being
drained out to the return pipe via the pressurelimiting valve on the fuel rail. This produces too
much unnecessary heat and loss of capacity
because large amounts of fuel are flowing at high
pressure.
The system has been designed such that only
fuel that will be used will be forced under high
pressure to the rail. For this reason, a fuel pump
control solenoid valve has been fitted at the
suction side of the high-pressure pump. This
solenoid valve is opened without being
energised, so that the high-pressure pump
elements can be filled in the normal manner.
If the fuel rail pressure becomes too high, for
example because of lower fuel off-take on the rail,
the solenoid valve will be energised by the
electronic unit with a higher duty cycle, so that the
plunger is pressed with a greater force against
the spring pressure and the valve reveals a more
constricted opening. This reduces the fuel supply
to the pump elements and the pump output will
thus fall. The fuel rail pressure will also fall as a
consequence.
If the rail pressure is too low, the reverse is true.

The current is supplied to the coil (3) via the
connector (1). The current pushes the core (2)
with the plunger (4) against the pressure of the
spring (5). This controls the fuel current from
input A to output B.
Due to this valve, under normal circumstances
very little fuel flows back from the rail. This
improves performance and reduces the
generation of heat.
The injectors can be opened and closed
electrically. The injector is normally closed. The
load of the spring (2) and the fuel rail pressure
that controls chamber C ensure this.
The fuel is supplied from the fuel rail via A. The
return fuel can flow back to the fuel tank via B.
When the coil (7) is energised, the armature
housing (5) moves up. As a result the pressure in
chamber C drops slightly and the injector needle
(1) is forced up to chamber D by the rail pressure.
The fuel can then be injected.
The fuel rail has a pressure-limiting valve so that
the rail pressure is maintained at a safe value in
emergency situations.
The fuel rail pressure control circuit is normally
active. This consists of the fuel lift pump, fuel
pump control solenoid valve, high-pressure
pump, fuel rail, rail pressure sensor and
electronic unit. If a fault occurs, the rail pressure
can no longer be controlled. This can rise to the
actuating pressure of the fuel rail pressurelimiting valve. This pressure is approx. 1650 bar.
In the open position all surplus fuel flows without
pressure to the fuel tank return connection.
The valve includes a sealing cone (1), a valve
body (2), a spring (3) and a return connection with
quick-release coupling (4).
The injectors are mounted in the cylinder head.
The injectors do not have a separate return
connection. In place of this there is a longitudinal
bore in the cylinder head that meets the injector
bores of all cylinders coinciding with the height of
the return ports of the injectors. A pressure relief
valve is mounted at the end of the bore to prevent
vapour bubbles forming in it and to prevent it
emptying after the engine is turned off. This valve
maintains a residual pressure in relation to the
return pressure of 1.2 to 2.0 bar.
The pressure relief valve consists of a springloaded plunger (1) and a housing (2) with quickrelease inlet and outlet connections (A and B
respectively).

fuel will escape. Collect the fuel and

Note:
When the leaking cylinder has been plugged,
the quantity of return fuel will decrease and,
as a result, the time it takes to fill the
measuring beaker to 360ml will increase.
If several high values are measured, this
indicates that there may be several leaks. If
this is the case, first check the cylinders that
give the highest values and then repeat the
test.

3.Check the fuel supply pipe for damage and
signs of leakage.
Leakage in the fuel supply pipe can be
recognised by erosion tracks (lines) on the
nose of the supply pipe. If necessary or if in
doubt, replace the fuel supply pipe.
4.Fit a new O-ring on the fuel supply pipe.
5.Check that the injector fuel connection is not
leaking.
Leakage in the injector fuel connection can
be recognised by erosion tracks (lines) in the
socket of the fuel connection . If necessary or
if in doubt, replace the injector.
6.Fit a new copper washer on the injector.
Measure the length of the injector nozzle (A)
without fitted washer in order to determine
which washer must be used. Fit the correct
washer; see "Technical data".
Note:
A wrong washer will cause an incorrect
alignment between the fuel supply pipe and
the injector. This will lead to internal fuel
leaks that will in turn cause loss of power
and/or engine damage.
7.Fit a new O-ring on the injector.
Note:
This O-ring should prevent returning fuel (1.2
- 2.0 bar) flowing via the top of the cylinder
head to the oil sump and thinning the oil.
8.Apply a thin layer of clean engine oil to the Oring of the injector.
9.Fit the injector with the copper washer. First
press the injector into the hole as far as
possible until a higher resistance can clearly
be felt.

Note:
The injector must only be fitted one way. If it
is fitted incorrectly, serious damage can
ensue. The rounded side (2) of the injector
clamping bracket (1) must point to the inlet
side of the engine (A).
10. Fit the attachment bolts (1) in the injector
clamping bracket (2) to secure the injector.
Tighten the attachment bolts alternately to a
torque of 2 Nm.
Note:
Pay special attention to the tightening of the
attachment bolts (1). The tightening must be
carried out alternately; ensure that the
injector clamping bracket (2) is not fitted at
an angle.
11. Apply a thin layer of clean engine oil to the Oring of the fuel supply pipe, the screw thread
of the nut and the contact surface of the nut
with the fuel supply pipe.
12. Check the bore of the fuel supply pipe for
foreign matter and damage. Also check
whether the supply bore in the injector is
correctly positioned for the bore, because it
is possible to mount the injector turned
through 180, so that the fuel supply port is
on the other side.

13. Fit the fuel supply pipe. Press the fuel supply
pipe as far as possible into the bore, with the
ball pointing upwards. Ensure that the O-ring
is not damaged in this process.
Note:
The fuel supply pipe has one or two positioning
balls. The fuel supply pipe can only be installed
with the ball(s) on top, as the bore in the cylinder
