Fuel system and pump suitable for use therein

摘要

A fuel system comprises a fuel pump (10) arranged to deliver fuel to a single fuel injector (14). The fuel pump (10) and injector (14) are physically spaced apart from one another, a high pressure fuel line (12) being used to convey fuel between the fuel pump (10) and the injector (14). The fuel pump (10) is controllable to control the timing of commencement of fuel pressurization. The injector (14) is controllable to control the timing of fuel delivery. A controller (16) is arranged to control the operation of the fuel pump (10) and the injector (14). The invention further relates to a fuel pump suitable for use in such a fuel system. <IMAGE>
