More Information
Summary:A high pressure fuel pump includes a pump head from which extends a turret, a bore extends along a main axis from a pumping chamber through the turret to an open end. A piston is arranged in the bore and protrudes out of the turret, an outer extremity being provided with a cam follower. A spring is arranged around the piston and slipped over the turret, the spring is compressed between the cam follower and the main part of the pump head. A cup shaped sleeve is arranged around the turret and defines a volume between the turret and the peripheral wall which fills with fuel that has leaked between the piston and the blind bore from the pumping chamber. A bottom face of the sleeve is provided with a hole through which the piston extends. An opening in the peripheral wall allows fuel to exit the volume.
