FUEL
LIFT
PUMP

Filtered fuel
is
fed to the injection pump by the
fuel lift pump. The fuel
lift
pump operates as shown
in
the figure. Power
is
applied to the tappet
by
an
eccentric movement on the fuel camshaft.
As
the
fuel camshaft rotates, the eccentric movement causes
the tappet
to
move up and down. The tappet
is
linked to a flexible diaphragm
(4)
via the pull rod.
When
the diaphragm
is
pulled down, a low
vacuum or low pressure area
is
created above the
diaphragm.
This
causes atmospheric pressure
in
the
fuel tank to force fuel into the fuel
lift
pump.
The
inlet valve
(1)
opens to admit fuel into the chamber
(3).
When the diaphragm
is
pushed up, pressure
is
created
in
the area above the diaphragm. This
pressure closes the inlet valve and opens the outlet
valve
(2),
forcing fuel from the pump through
the
fuel pipe to the injection pump.
