PRESSURE PUMP
The pressure pump is radialjet type with three
radial pistons (total capacity 0.657 cc). It is
controlled by a timing belt with or without
timing requirements.
Each pump unit consists of:
a piston (5) opered by a cam (2) integral with
the pump shaft (6);
a plate-type intake valve (3);
a delivery ball valve (4).
The pressure pump must be supplied at a
pressure of at least 0.5 bars; and for this rea­
son the fuel system is equipped with an aux­
iliary pump submerged in the tank.
The pressure pump is lubricated and cooled
by the diesel fuel via channels and is able to
deliver a maximum pressure of 1350 bars.

PRESSURE REGULATOR
FILTER
The fuel pressure regulator is fitted to the
pressure pump and controlled directly by the
injection control unit. It regulates fuel feed
pressure to the injectors.
The pressure regulator consists mainly of the
following parts:
1. Ball plunger
2. Pin
3. Valve
4. Preload spring
5. Coil
6. Body
7. Anchor

MULTIFUNCTION VALVE
The multifunction valve is located on the fuel
tank and performs the following functions:
- tank pressurisation
- ventilation
- seal if the car rolls over
Tank pressurisation
Tank pressurisation is maintained at a level be­
tween 55 and 75 mbars by means of a valve
mounted on a sealing rim.
The valve is supported by a steel plate and held in place by a spring.
When tank pressure exceeds a specified level, it overcomes spring resistance and allows the valve to rise
so that vapours can flow out.
When the pressure returns to within specified limits, the valve closes again
Ventilation
Under certain car service conditions, a vacuum may build up in the tank due to the effect of:
- heat changes;
- fuel consumption
in this case, the valve's function is to make up pressure inside the tank by letting air into the tank.
If this function is not performed correctly, the car may judder or stall due to difficulties in supplying the
pump.
Seal if the car rolls over
The roll-over function prevents fuel emerging from the tank if the car rolls over or tilts to a great extent.
During normal car operation (bends, acceleration, braking etc.), the fuel slops about and may emerge.
The highly-sensitive roll-over valve prevents this happening.
DELIVERY MANIFOLD (RAIL)
The delivery manifold (rail) is fitted to the cylinder head on the intake side.
Its volume damps fuel pressure fluctuations due mainly to:
- operation of the pressure pump;
- injector opening.
A fuel pressure sensor is fitted in the middle of the delivery manifold.
Hydraulic connections (high pressure) are via special steel pipes.

THROTTLE BODY
To reduce engine noise during shut-down, a throttle has been added to the intake port with the aim of
closing off the air flow to the cylinders.
Throttle valve opening or closure is controlled by an engine control unit (5) that manages a control ac­
tuator (3) on throttle body (4) via solenoid (2).
Operation
When the engine is off, the throttle is open because no vacuum is present.
When the engine is running, the throttle is open because the Pierburg solenoid is not activated and pre­
vents the vacuum reaching the pneumatic actuator.
A vacuum builds up in the tank during engine operation.
During engine shut-down (when the ignition key is turned OFF), the control unit keeps the actuator sup­
ply relay activated for a further 4 or 5 seconds and simultaneously earths the Pierburg valve. The Pierburg
valve opens to send the vacuum that has built up in the vacuum tank to the pneumatic actuator, which
closes the throttle to cut off the flow of air to the cylinders.
