When discussing oil pumps, most people think of the component inside the oil pan that supplies oil to the bearings in the crankshaft, but with a high pressure system, you actually have two oil pumps on your engine. What we’re talking about today is the high-pressure oil pump that supplies the fuel system.
Common Oil Pump Questions For Ford Powerstroke And Navistar Diesel Engines
We’re going to take you through a genuine Bosch high-pressure oil pump for your Ford Powerstroke 7.3L and your Navistar International T444E and cover some questions we often see about this component.
This high-pressure oil pump or “Hpop”, was designed for high pressure fuel injection systems. Bosch begin production of these in 1995, and it was an evolution driven by emissions requirements.
What Are The Benefits of High Pressure Oil Pumps?
Low Emissions
- Simple and Fast Pump Replacements
With a high pressure system we’ve gotten rid of the rotating parts, and now we have a pump that transmits its pressure via hydraulics. So instead of relying on a camshaft for mechanical transmission of power, you’ve got hydraulic transmission of power.
What are Common High Pressure Oil Pump Failures?
It runs off the same oil that the rest of the engine uses
- Engine burning more oil
- Fuel dilution
- It’s important to pay attention to oil change intervals because it’s all the same oil, breaking down more quickly. You might be getting more contaminants in your oil.
There are a lot of opportunities for failures, if you don’t have the proper lubrication.
