TRUCK SERVICE MANUAL
ENGINE
The injector contains a ball check valve.
As the injector
plunger moves downward to cover the feed opening, an
impulse pressure wave seats the ball and at the same
time traps a positive amount of fuel in the injector cup for
injection.
As the continuing downward plunger
movement injects fuel into the combustion chamber, it
also uncovers the drain opening and the ball rises from
its seat.
This allows free flow through the injector and
out the drain for cooling purposes and purging gases
from the cup.
