A fuel injection pump is responsible for pumping fuel, usually, diesel into the cylinders of the engine. In traditional vehicles, the pump is driven via the crankshafts through a series of gears, toothed belts or chains which also powers the camshaft. In a conventional 4 stroke diesel engine it rotates it at half crankshaft speed. The timing is set as such at the fuel is sent a very short while prior to dropping dead center in the engine’s cylinder stroke. In a gasoline engine, the pump belt is also driven via the camshaft. The injection pressure varies though generally, it's around 200 MPa or 30,000 PSI.

Replacing the High-pressure pump

Replacement of the pump can only be done with one with the same specifications. So it's important to match the part number when buying a replacement. The slightest deviation in the pressure of the pump can cause problems, and it is for this reason why we recommend that you only buy a branded fuel injection pump. Once you have the pump, it can only be replaced by a certified professional with experience. However, with the right tools, a DIY person can do it too in some vehicles where it's easy to reach though it's not recommended.
