3.5 Operation of the Supply Pump
As shown in the illustration below, the rotation of the eccentric cam causes the ring cam to push Plunger A upwards. Due to the spring
force, Plunger B is pulled in the opposite direction to Plunger A. As a result, Plunger B draws in fuel, while Plunger A pumps it to the
rail.
