[@David-lb4te]

Brilliant video; clearly explained as only Brits used to in the mid 20th century, with sectioned models and graphics.

[@PaletoB]

The only problem I have with videos like this is that they never show up in KZbins search results. On the positive side they do tend to show up in the recommended section a week later 😄

[@markdavies3448]

21 dislikes!! They must be mechanically braindead. Fantastic british engineering at its best. Perkins and c.a.v working together. Pleasure to watch. Restoring a massey ferguson 65, this has helped me understand the principles. Thankyou.

[@vaalrus]

Ditto for me with a ’73 Ford industrial tractor. Some bozo had taken the input valve assembly for the transfer pump side, and instead of replacing a simple o-ring, tried to build a seal with silicone… I’ve been cleaning bits of that out of the whole works. Poor thing was being starved for fuel. One cleaning and one o-ring later, it makes fine pressure.

Oh man! This was so helpful for getting my head wrapped around how my CAV pump works. (or rather, why it isn't working at the moment)

[@markokivimaki7488]

Excellent video, thank you very much! I am in a process of converting my marine Perkins 4.108 into a generator work horse and was trying to find information on CAV DPA hydraulic (which my motor has) and on mechanical pump (which I think I should get for generator use). This video explains all I need to know about these two types of CAV pumps.

[@fegolem]

Excellent! I'm in the process of disassembly and resealing a CAV 3-cylinder injection pump on a Ford 3600 tractor. This film helps me visualize and understand the operations of it's components. Thanks for posting. Is there a source for higher res versions of this film/video?

Many thanks - extremely useful and a great reminder of all the instructional films they showed at my school and tech college!

[@ColinMill1]

I should add that for those interested in the subtleties of the transfer pressure regulating valve (which is not covered in this film and which is complicated by the need to allow the pump to be primed by the lift pump) there is a good diagram and explanation about 2/3 of the way down this web page:- www.tb-training.co.uk/cisys.htm

[@glenquagmire4232]

Your my hero man... Thank you for these

[@johnlaband770]

Very useful video. What I don't understand is how a worn pump can be reconditioned. As it wears presumably the fuel pressure within the pump housing increases and so inevitably the drive shaft seal will eventually be overloaded and leak into the sump. So unless all the worn components are replaced there will be no improvement in an old pump.

[@nikutb6798]

nice job,,,,in the test room, is the test done with a prototype injector? or what the engine has...how will we measure the pressure of the transfer pump? and how will we know if the hydraulic head has lost its performance..thanks

[@ColinMill1]

I think you will find that the lower of the two bleed nipples is at transfer pump pressure and the upper is at lift-pump pressure.

[@nikutb6798]

@@ColinMill1 how will we know if the hydraulic head has lost its performance..thanks

[@ColinMill1]

@@nikutb6798 That is a very good question. On the vehicle its not going to be easy. Given that, in a conventional diesel engine, the injection system isn't trying to maintain a given fuel/air ratio (as it has to in a petrol injection system). The action of the governor probably masks moderate levels of leakage in the high-pressure pump. At a given throttle setting, if the RPM drops slightly because leakage is reducing the delivery to the injectors then the governor will open the control valve slightly and increase the fuel being delivered. I suspect a badly worn high pressure pump shows up first at idle where there is more time for the leaks to have effect and the fuel delivery per pulse is low. Back in the 1960s I did, as a kid, spend about a week watching what went on in a fuel injection repair shop and the pump testing was done without injectors on the outlets but with the outlets simply piped up to a set of measuring cylinders so that the flow rates could be measured. Presumably the assumption was that the pump, having been refurbished, wouldn't have any excessive leaks that would affect the delivery under injector back-pressure. Wear in the transfer pump is, I suspect, not a major issue. The transfer pump on a DPA pump, from my calculations, circulates through the regulator valve about 15 times the volume delivered by the high-pressure pump under maximum load. So the system should perform fairly normally even with moderate wear in the transfer pump.

Thousands upon thousands of these still installed and in operation all over the world. I had reason to take a 1970’s version apart for service today, and I’ve got a dozen other pieces of equipment that use this design. I suspect this will be pertinent to mechanics and owners for a few more decades to come.

[@alejokcrs]

thanks for uploading this video, very clarifying

[@robertperonne384]

Every other video about fuel injection pumps should be required to have a link to this original Perkins technical sales/support film. The real question that everyone has is how do I get air out of the thing so the motor will start. Now I know what is going on inside the pump.

[@Rettich333]

Amazing ! Thanks for uploading.

[@enednas801]

I have gotten ahold of a old volvo tractor with perkins engine and cap dpi pump,its primed good and all but doesent spit fuel at the injector lines. been ununsed for 10+ years so i guess the plunger pistons are stuck in the old diesel. the throttle lever that adjust the fuel was a little stuck too. now i can tear into this and see whats wrong :)

[@stanRmeyer]

If you pull the injector pump off the engine and manually spin it 600 RPM for so, you can often break them free due to centrifugal force and it'll start pumping again!

[@FinleyGordon]

Hi all, I am trouble shooting a Bristol Taurus crawler (1950s era) which will only operate at full RPM. Perkins 3cyl engine, CAV BPE injector pump. Wondering if anyone has advice what could be causing this issue - the engine had been run out of fuel immediately prior to this issue arising so I am wondering whether something from the bottom of the tank has blocked/stopped something in the fuel injection pump? Many thanks

[@jimorgain63]

did you get it fixed?

+paulmagnnum Thank you :)

[@carllinden533]

Okay I got a dumb question, if the hydraulic governor is far simpler, why use the mechanical type? He says it's more precise but what does that mean?

[@ColinMill1]

Well, I have a 35x tractor with the mechanical governor and if it is running light at 1700 rpm it will drop to perhaps 1500 rpm under full load. Quite remarkable for a purely mechanical system especially as it has no tendency to hunt even though the pump has 8500 hours on it.

[@JimCoupeTQ]

But what if you press the priming knobb? Well the fuel bypass everything. The priming pin can get stucked and mess up motor

[@jimorgain63]

what? im trying to understand

[@ColinMill1]

The regulator valve allows the pump to be primed using the lift pump priming lever as far as filling the pump casing and the transfer pump but not the high pressure pump or the injector lines so the final stage of priming requires cranking to operate both the transfer pump and the high pressure pump. The lift pump priming lever is missing on my tractor so I have to do the whole priming job by cranking. With a fully charged battery this is no problem.

Lol, all their developmental work, ok sure. It's a Roosa master DB2 pump they built under license, just like the stanadyne pumps used by GM and Ford in their mechanical injection diesel pickups, in Ford tractors, and all kinds of stationary light engines. Those CAV units look like a direct copy of the Roosa labeled units in Ford tractors, ROFL

[@tjsbbi]

The distributor pump design was licensed from stanadyne. However anyone with more than a passing familiarity would know that a DPA and DB4 are different pumps.

[@ludditeneaderthal]

@@tjsbbi db2, not 4, and Roosa had both the mechanical and hydraulic governing covered in his patents. The differences are very minor, the Roosa vane pump uses 4 blades instead of 2, the mechanical linkages in the governor racks are divergent, yet perform almost exactly the same. The db4 has a 4 plunger high pressure pump for greater volume, but the db2 is a dual plunger just like that dpa. Roosa also has pneumatic governing as an option, but it require an intake butterfly valve akin to a throttle body. The difference of the dpa in that film and the Roosa used in Ford light tractors is pretty much the top cover mounting, and plane of the fuel lever rotation. The dpa just uses a simpler main casting, and a "lower inventory count" lever and spring arrangement.

[@tjsbbi]

@@ludditeneaderthal my mistake then I was thinking of a DB4. I seem to remember them as having a substantially heavier barrel. The CAV DPA and DPC had a 4 vane transfer pump which may be the same as the DB4.

[@ludditeneaderthal]

@@tjsbbi the stanadyne pumps run a gamut of sizes. The db2 on the Ford idi v8s are actually pretty tiny, the gm 6.2 v8 version is also "petite", lol. The 4 cyl White engine military genset model is a bit larger, and some stationary use models get pretty chunky. The Ford 4 cyl small tractor model is about the size of the Perkins CAV. I think that's just indicative of the versatility of the design, it's quite scalable for the job at hand, even if you only use the 2 roller variant. At least as scalable as the typical Bosch style " box, camshaft, and row of pump bodies" pump/governor rigs, and pretty much always lighter and cheaper. That DPA is actually a pretty nice variant, between the simplified castings and the "lean manufacturing" nature of the governing linkages, it seems nicely suited to modular use on a variety of engines and duties.
