The much-smaller EUIs for VW came along later. <br />However, EUIs (and their unit-pump derivatives) are now old hat. Every automotive diesel manufacturer of note has moved to common rail technology, though Delphi - for its two main OEMs Volvo and DAF - has done it cleverly, retaining two of the six camshaft-actuated pump elements to pressurise the rail.<br />A quite different type of injector is needed in a common-rail set-up and it's probably true to say that Delphi's previous VW EUI experience has been valuable, by way of component miniaturisation, for its latest downsized F2 injector.<br />Though Delphi hasn't said so, the HPDI natural gas injector being developed with Westport is likely to see the light of day first in a Volvo 13 litre engine. <br /> Alan Buntingnoreply@blogger.com
