A system and method for determining a fluid consumption rate from a fluid tank is described. The fluid tank includes a fuel for an internal combustion engine and the internal combustion engine provides power to a powered system. The method includes determining instantaneous fluid consumption; determining an operating condition of the powered system, the powered system providing a load on the internal combustion engine; determining the load on the internal combustion engine and a state of the internal combustion engine; and calculating the fluid consumption rate based on the instantaneous fuel consumption, the load on the internal combustion engine, and the state of the internal combustion engine.

An injection nozzle for use in injecting lubricating oil into cylinders in large engines is provided. The nozzle is adapted for fastening in a cylinder wall with a nozzle rod extending through the cylinder wall and with a nozzle outlet at the inner end of the nozzle rod. The nozzle rod includes a cylindrical valve seat boring with a displaceable valve body having a cylindrical sealing face which interacts with the cylindrical valve seat boring of the nozzle rod, the valve body biased by a spring for effective closing of the valve. The valve body is formed by a cylindrical rod having a turned recess in the cylindrical sealing face of the valve body. The turned recess is arranged at the inner end of the valve body with parts of the cylindrical sealing face of the valve body at each side of the turned recess.

The present invention provides a fuel pump capable of suppressing sticking of a plunger. The fuel pump of the present invention includes a plunger 2 that reciprocates, a cylinder 6 in which a guide hole 6a that guides the reciprocating motion of the plunger 2 extends in the axial direction, and a pump body 1 that holds the cylinder 6. The pump body 1 includes a cylinder insertion hole 1g into which the cylinder 6 is inserted, and a pressurizing chamber 11 that communicates with the cylinder insertion hole 1g and has a volume increased or decreased by the reciprocating motion of the plunger 2. The cylinder 6 includes a press-fitting portion 6b press-fitted into the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder insertion hole 1g, and a groove 6d formed at a position corresponding to the press-fitting portion 6b on the inner peripheral surface of the guide hole 6a.

Provided is a solution to a problem on a discharge valve mechanism disposed at an exit of a pressurizing chamber of a high-pressure fuel supply pump, that is, an occurrence of a backward flow of the fuel concentrates on a limited fuel passage, leading to a higher fuel flow rate, and this easily induces the occurrence of cavitation, and collapse of the generated cavitation might damage a seat surface, making it difficult to maintain valve functions. The present invention provides a valve mechanism including a seat member having a seat section, a valve body configured to attach to or detached from the seat section, and a housing member arranged on an outer peripheral side of the seat member. A first fluid flow-path is formed to connect an inner peripheral side and an outer peripheral side of the seat section in a case where the valve is detached from the seat section. A second fluid flow-path is formed to be connected with the first fluid flow-path, between an outer peripheral surface of the seat member and an inner peripheral surface of the housing member, or between an outer peripheral surface of the valve body and the inner peripheral surface of the housing member. The cross-sectional area along the axial direction of the valve mechanism of the second fluid flow-path is 0.18 mm square or above.
