The diesel fuel pump is a fairly complex and sturdy mechanism. In fact, it is the most complex diesel engine part. Additionally, a diesel fuel pump must be durable enough that it can withstand the pressure of the compressed air, and the heat of the injection process. The fine mist of fuel needed for the proper ignition must be maintained by the diesel fuel pump under these extreme conditions. Diesel fuel pumps may be located just about anywhere on the engine, depending on the manufacturers design. Much experimentation has been done over the years regarding the most effective placement of the diesel fuel pump. So far it seems that so long as the pump is mounted on the engine, it will effectively deliver fuel to the cylinders. A gasoline fuel pump, on the other hand, may be mounted anywhere in the engine compartment or along the fuel distribution system. Depending on the location and design of the diesel fuel injector pump, pre-combustion chambers, customized induction valves, and other systems are often used in the injection process. These injection enhancers often aid in circulating, or swirling the air inside the cylinder for more efficient combustion. Just as with any engine fuel injection system, diesel fuel pumps are constantly being improved to be more efficient and less costly.
