Purpose and Role in the Injection System

The fuel rail in the 1.6 TDCi engine is responsible for storing and distributing high-pressure fuel to individual injectors. A correctly selected common rail:

• stabilizes fuel pressure throughout the diesel injection system,
• ensures uniform fueling of all cylinders,
• limits pressure fluctuations, supporting engine running smoothness,
• facilitates the maintenance of correct combustion parameters and exhaust emissions.

For TDCi diesel engines, a functional fuel rail is crucial for the correct operation of the injector nozzles, especially during dynamic changes in load and engine speed.

Category: Injector Nozzles and Their Relation to the Rail

This product belongs to the Injector Nozzles category, highlighting its close connection with the precise operation of injectors in a diesel engine. The fuel rail works in conjunction with the nozzles, enabling:

• accurate fuel metering across the entire load range,
• maintaining the correct pressure at the injector inlet,
• reducing the risk of uneven engine operation and power loss.

Thanks to the proper fuel rail, the diesel fuel system maintains stability, which is particularly important in commercial vehicles like the Ford Transit, often operating under heavy loads.

Technical Characteristics and Compatibility with Diesel Systems

The presented fuel rail is designed for diesel-powered engines, ensuring compatibility with the common rail injection system in TDCi units. The component's construction is adapted to the operating parameters of modern diesels, including:

• high operating pressure in the fuel system,
• cooperation with electronically controlled injectors,
• maintaining appropriate sealing and resistance to thermal loads.

As a Ford brand component, the rail is designed to maintain the original operating parameters of the injection system for the specific engine model.

Condition, Origin, and Service Application

The offered fuel rail is a used part, allowing for economical repair of the fuel system while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. This type of component is particularly useful in situations where:

• a quick replacement of a damaged rail in the common rail system is necessary,
• you are looking for a service solution with a favorable price-to-quality ratio,
• you want to maintain parameters as close as possible to the vehicle's factory equipment.

By maintaining compatibility with the TDCi diesel system, the rail can be used as a replacement part in professional service or during a DIY repair, adhering to manufacturer standards.

Technical Support and Knowledge of the Injection System

When selecting a fuel rail for a specific engine, it is advisable to pay attention to the manufacturer's markings and reference numbers, which facilitate matching it to the particular engine variant. The product has an OEM part number and corresponding interchangeable numbers, which aids in correct identification in service catalogs and parts selection systems.
