Four basic components work together to bring precision, reliability and simplified
maintenance to the HEUI fuel system.
A close look at the HEUI System 3. High Pressure Oil Pump The
The HEUI fuel system consists of four basic variable displacement axial pump features
components: a built-in reservoir to immediately supply
oil at cold starts.
