Abstract
Abstract The injection pump provides preinjection only during engine idling and partial load. This is achieved by providing a main release opening and an auxiliary release opening in the pump cylinder which appropriately register with first and second release grooves in a pump plunger which is rotatable between full load and low idle positions.
