Provided is a fluororubber composition capable of providing a crosslinked fluororubber article that exhibits not only heat resistance, but also excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures. The fluororubber composition includes a fluororubber (A), a carbon black (B), and an aromatic petroleum resin (E), and the fluororubber composition has a difference G (G (1%)G (100%)) of not lower than 120 kPa and not higher than 3,000 kPa, where G (1%) denotes a shear modulus at a dynamic strain of 1%, G (100%) denotes a shear modulus at a dynamic strain of 100%, and G (1%) and G (100%) are determined by a dynamic viscoelasticity test carried out on an unvulcanised rubber with a rubber process analyzer (RPA) in a condition that the measurement frequency is 1 Hz and the measurement temperature is 100 C.

An improved fuel injection pump is provided for an internal combustion engine (e.g., diesel engine), and is configured such that the secondary hand pump of the prior art can be eliminated. To achieve this result, the injection pump employs a one-way bearing or clutch on the input side of the drive shaft of the injection pump. By employing a one-way bearing or clutch, such as of the concentric roller type, or other suitable clutch, the fuel injection pump can be operated by direct coupling of the engine and the drive shaft of the fuel injection pump. Also with this configuration, once the engine is stopped, the drive shaft of the fuel injection pump can be manually driven in order to prime the system. Accordingly, by locating a one-way bearing or similar clutch device along the driveline of the fuel injection pump, the fuel injection pump can be both manually operated when the engine is shut off and automatically driven when the engine is running.

The invention relates to a fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine comprising:a low pressure fuel pump (18);a low pressure supply circuit (34) through which fuel is delivered by the low pressure pump (18) to one or several high pressure circuits (16), said low pressure supply circuit (34) comprising at least one delivery connection (36) for delivering fuel to the high pressure circuit(s) (16);a pressure regulator (54) through which excess fuel from the low pressure supply circuit (34) is discharged through the pressure regulator (54) in a pump return circuit (56) which is fluidically connected to an input (20) of the low pressure pump (18) without passing through the fuel tank (14); characterized in that the pressure regulator (54) is located downstream of the delivery connection (36), and in that a fuel derivation circuit (60) is fluidically connected to the low pressure fuel supply circuit (34) downstream of the at least one delivery connection (36) to the high pressure circuit(s) and upstream of the pressure regulator (54).

A valve device for a fuel filter module has a first fluid channel through which fuel flows only in recirculation mode of the fuel filter module and a second fluid channel through which fuel flows only outside of the recirculation mode. The first fluid channel extends inside the second fluid channel. The first and second fluid channels are coaxial to each other. A fuel filter module switchable into recirculation mode and out of recirculation mode is provided with a control valve that has a valve bore and a valve device arranged in the valve bore, wherein the valve device has a first fluid channel through which fuel flows only in recirculation mode and a second fluid channel through which fuel flows only outside of the recirculation mode. The first fluid channel extends inside the second fluid channel, and the first and second fluid channels are coaxial to each other.

A high-pressure pump has a metering valve and a valve stopper. The stopper has a regulation portion which an end surface of the valve is brought into contact with. An outer diameter of the regulation portion is equal to an outer diameter of the outer peripheral surface of the valve. A cylindrical sleeve is disposed around the regulation portion. When the end surface of the valve is in contact with the regulation portion, the sleeve covers a tapered surface of the valve.

A manually actuated feed pump is provided with a primer bulb to be manually actuated by an operator. The primer bulb has a pump chamber. A travel-controlled valve connects the pump chamber to a fuel line. The travel-controlled valve has a valve member that is moved by an actuation travel of the primer bulb into an open position that opens the travel-controlled valve. A first spring is operatively connected to the valve member and to the primer bulb. The primer bulb acts through the first spring on the valve member.
