TDCi fuel system
i think the answer is yes but looking for comfirmation.

Is it an HP system from the tank fwd like a td5?

ie if i want a fuel feed i need to take it from the tank itself rather than FIP feed. Cheers

It is a low pressure system from the tank to the pump where it then becomes a HP system to the rail.

The fuel pump contains and controls both the low pressure and high pressure systems. The low pressure side of the pump is responsible for getting the fuel from/and return to the tank and into the pump to be utilized in the high pressure system. It does this by using an eccentric cam to draw fuel along the fuel pipes and into the pump. There is an admissions valve to control the volume (also ensures that sufficient lubrication and cooling are always provided for the high-pressure pump components) and also a temp sensor to determine the fuel density by its temperature, if this sensor is faulty or unplugged the defender will enter limp mode. Fuel is then passed into the high pressure side by way of the Volume Control Valve which is controlled by the EMS. It basically governs the flow of fuel from the low to the high pressure side to maintain the fuel accumulator rail at a set pressure. It operates by means of the EMS using the information from the fuel rail pressure sensor to maintain the pressure at the fuel rail, about 1600BAR.
A total of 2 high-pressure chambers, each with a pump plunger, are used for high-pressure generation. The drive for the pump plungers is through an eccentric cam, which is in turn driven by the drive shaft. The high-pressure pump permanently generates the high system pressure for the fuel rail. The rotary movement of the drive shaft is converted to a reciprocating movement by the eccentric cam. The eccentric cam ring then transfers the reciprocating movement to the pump plungers. The pump plungers are offset by 180 degrees. This means that during a reciprocating movement, pump plunger 1 performs exactly the opposite movement to pump plunger 2. When the eccentric cam produces an upward stroke, pump plunger 1 moves in the direction of Top Dead Center (TDC), thus compressing the fuel and delivering it to the fuel rail via the outlet valve. The inlet valve is pressed into its seat by the delivery pressure. Pump plunger 2 is moved by the tension spring force in the direction of Bottom Dead Center (BDC). Due to the high pressure in the fuel rail, the outlet valve is pressed into its seat. The pump internal pressure opens the inlet valve and fuel flows into the high-pressure chamber. When the eccentric cam produces a downward stroke, the process is reversed.

Thank you for the quick reply.

where abouts is the pump located please?

ie could i tee in prior to the pump so supply fuel to a DBH such as a Websato? Cheers

The high pressure pump (installed on the engine closer to the brake vacuum pump) also have the feed pump. No external pump on Puma Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition

so you can tee in one route from the tank to the pump or on its return then for a LP feed. ie could take it off the fuel cooler on the return? Cheers

Personally I would not interrupt the fragile Low pressure fuel feed system by tapping into it. The safest option is to take a separate feed from the fuel tank or mount an auxiliary tank somewhere. On the Puma engine there is only the fuel pump eccentric cam to draw fuel through to the pump from the tank. There would probably be feed issues and fuel starvation to the webasto due to the syphon effect of the fuel pump, though you could probably put in a one way valve in the inlet side of webasto fuel intake to compensate for this though what issues this may cause to the fuel feed to the fuel pump is anyone's guess. Also it may give another issue in that it is somewhere else to leak from, lose pressure because off.
Just my opinion,


Brian.

jst - take a look in here:

http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic8509.html?highlight=webasto

there's a whole section on installing the pickup in the fuel tank. Also do a search on Webasto there's loads of stuff about fuel lines. I looked at teeing off the fuel line but the general consensu was don't.
