Why do you need a check valve on the fuel pump and how to replace it yourself

What to expect from a non-working check valve

Nothing good.
At the very least it is a difficult start. Airing of the diesel power system is a rather problematic breakdown on the road. Injection power systems also do not like air in the system. Troubles begin when we turn off the engine, and the fuel, which must wait for the next start (working pressure must be maintained in the system), goes into the tank along the working line, and air takes its place. Now, in order to start the engine, it is necessary to normalize the pressure in the system and supply fuel to the injectors. To do this, you need to turn the engine with the starter for 40-50 seconds, so starting with half a turn is out of the question. Strange situations also arise when the check valve is confused with the pressure regulator, which is installed on the fuel rail in most injection engines - 2110, 2114, Kia Sportage 3.

Airing the diesel power system is an extremely complex breakdown on the road

Its job is to equalize the pressure in the fuel rail section, otherwise the injector simply will not receive fuel at the required pressure and will not be able to supply it to the combustion chamber. At the moment when we turn off the ignition, the regulator stops supplying fuel to the injectors, the locking mechanism is activated, thus cutting off part of the fuel line from the fuel pump with a check valve to the fuel rail. And now only the check valve is responsible for the presence of fuel in the system. And it’s easy to check who is to blame in this situation. If the pressure in the fuel rail is normal, and in most cars it should be within 2-3 atm, then the check valve is to blame.

As you can see, one tiny valve can do such things. This once again confirms that there are no small things in the car’s design and there cannot be, and every breakdown is eliminated first with the head, and only then with the hands.

Methods for diagnosing a malfunction

To independently check the return valve, measure the fuel pressure in different parts of the fuel system. To carry out diagnostics you need a pressure gauge. The measuring tool is connected to a specific section of the fuel line.

The measurement helps determine whether the RTD or check valve is faulty. If, when you turn off the ignition, the pressure value on the pressure gauge screen does not correspond to the reference value, then replacing the check valve of the fuel pump will help restore normal operation of the power unit.

Comment! Reference values ​​in different sections of the fuel system: 3.2 bar is the norm for the fuel pump, for the fuel rail - 2-3 atm. A sharp drop in pressure is a sign of a malfunction.

Experienced car enthusiasts take measurements in the following sequence:

• connect the pressure gauge in the evening;
• The car is first started, then turned off;
• In the morning they check the pressure, compare it with the minimum value indicated in the book. If the pressure gauge shows less than normal, the check valve requires repair or replacement.

The second diagnostic method does not require measurements. It is used in case of unstable operation of the internal combustion engine, if the line through which the fuel is supplied is made of soft material.

During diagnostics, a hose is found through which the fuel moves in the opposite direction. They clamp the tube and at this moment evaluate how the motor works. If the operating mode of the cylinders corresponds to the norm, and the speed increases, it means that the valve does not hold pressure, it can be safely changed.

Why OKDT doesn't work

There are several reasons for the appearance of characteristic signs of a check valve malfunction. According to statistics, low-quality products most often fail. Counterfeits of well-known brands made in China do not work for a long time. Factory defects are a common cause of breakdown.

Comment! Bad gasoline harms all components of the fuel system: filters, pressure regulators, and check valves become unusable.

Wear of a part (depletion of its resource) is the second reason for the malfunction of the automobile fuel system. If the part is of high quality, then the first signs of OKDT malfunction occur when the mileage exceeds 100 thousand km. Quite often, mechanical structures break down due to low quality gasoline. Low-quality fuel may contain water and other impurities.

How to measure fuel rail pressure

You need a hose, a tee (plumbing), a pressure gauge up to 6 bar, several clamps. The pressure in the fuel rail is measured if, during acceleration, the engine operates with dips and unevenly.

In preparation for measurement, the hose is placed on the outlet fitting of the measuring device. To reduce the error and reduce pressure loss, the connection is fixed with a clamp. Carefully unscrew the plug and nipple from the fuel rail. Connect the second end of the hose and also secure it with a clamp. Blood pressure is measured in several modes.

How to check fuel rail pressure

What is the canister valve on the grant fret needed for and how to replace it?
The procedure for taking pressure measurements is as follows. First, connect a fuel pressure gauge to one end of the hose and secure the connection with a clamp. We unscrew the cap on the fuel rail (on the side opposite to the one where the RTD is installed). We place a container under the fitting to collect fuel. Using the nipple cap, press the central protrusion, thus releasing the fuel pressure in the system. This process is required! Next, without removing the container, unscrew the locking nipple completely.

When the remaining fuel has drained into the container, put the other end of the hose on the fitting and secure it with a clamp. Turn on the ignition and wait until the gas pump pumps fuel into the system. We check the pressure and compare it with the recommended one.

After this, we start the engine and take measurements at idle. Checking the functionality of the fuel pressure regulator is carried out with the vacuum hose disconnected from it and with the power unit running. If the pressure has increased to 3.3 kg/cm2, the regulator can be considered operational. If it has not changed, the RTD has most likely become unusable.

Similarly, we measure pressure when the return hose is closed, as well as in the gas overflow mode.

Correct selection and replacement of the injection pump bypass valve

Reducing valves have an extremely simple design, but they are constantly subjected to high loads and quite often fail. Valve malfunction is manifested by deterioration of engine performance - it loses throttle response and in some modes there is a noticeable deterioration in its performance. In these cases, it is necessary to dismantle and check the valve, and, if it is faulty, replace it.

To replace, it is necessary to select a bypass valve of the same type and model that is installed on the injection pump by the manufacturer - only in this case there is a guarantee that the valve has the necessary characteristics and will ensure normal operation of the pump. Many valves allow adjustment of the pressure at which fuel is bypassed - this adjustment must be made in strict accordance with the instructions for maintenance and repair of the car/tractor. As a rule, adjustment comes down to changing the number of washers placed under the valve head, although there are exceptions - it all depends on the specific type of device.

With the correct selection, replacement and adjustment of the pressure reducing valve, the fuel pump will operate effectively in all modes, ensuring normal operating characteristics of the power unit.

The fuel line and the injector ramp that supplies the engine injectors operate under a pressure of about 3 bar. Since gasoline is supplied by an electric pump, the system uses a special valve that limits the fuel pressure. Otherwise, the nozzles will leak and the engine will choke on the over-enriched mixture. To avoid problems with fuel supply, you need to promptly diagnose the signs of a malfunction of the fuel pressure regulator (abbreviated as RTD) and know how to eliminate it.

Where is the fuel check valve located?

Where is the fuel system check valve located?

Let's find out where the fuel system valve of various cars is located.

• In power plants with an injector, it can be installed in the gasoline pump housing.
• Mounted on the fuel frame or installed directly in the fuel line. This is the space between the gas tank and the fuel injectors.

On diesel power plants, the mechanical structure is hidden between the fuel injection pump and the low-pressure pump. This arrangement of the product allows you to create a stable pressure at the outlet of the high-pressure pump.

The system has proven itself well:

• on a domestic truck: KAMAZ 740;
• Czech clubfoot Tatra;
• on Mana;
• and Renault Magnum.

In diesel installations where a pre-start heating system is provided, the fuel check valve is located in front of the heating system. A typical example is the same KamAZ or Magirus trucks operating in the Far North.

On domestic passenger cars, such as the VAZ 2110 and 2114 with sixteen valves, the mechanical structure is located in the gasoline pump and on the fuel frame. This is analogous to installing a diesel engine.

Today, old carburetor cars with rear-wheel drive still run on our roads: eights and nines (VAZ 2108 and VAZ 2109). On them, the role of the return device is assigned directly to the gasoline pump.

It stands on the cylinder block and prevents the passage of fuel in the opposite direction: into the fuel tank.

The fuel supply system of automobile gasoline and diesel power units is a technically complex device that should not be approached without knowledge. And even more so, try to carry out technical treatment on your own.

The check valve plays an important role in the regular supply of fuel.

Let's focus our attention on its design and installation in the car. Let's look at the problems and characteristic signs of a malfunction

We will also decide on ways to check it.

Types, design and principle of operation of the injection pump bypass valve

First of all, it should be noted that today there are several types of valves that provide fuel bypass to the injection pump:

• Bypass (reducing) valve in multi-section pumps;
• Bypass (reducing) valve for regulating pressure inside the housing (at the inlet to the pump section of the fuel priming pump) in a distribution-type injection pump;
• Bypass throttling valve in distribution type pumps.

Each of the valves has its own design features and occupies a specific place in the high-pressure fuel pump.

Bypass valve in multi-section fuel injection pumps. This valve is installed in the front wall of the pump housing; it is connected to the fuel supply channels from the fuel priming pump to the discharge sections. Structurally, the valve is very simple: its basis is a body, inside of which there is a spring-loaded shut-off element in the form of a ball or disk. The housing can be of two types:

• Bolt. The valve is made in the form of a bolt, inside of which there is a shut-off element, and two or more holes are made on the walls to drain fuel into the return line. The bolt is screwed into the pump body; it holds the connecting nipple, to which the return line is connected;
• Union. The valve is made in the form of a fitting, inside of which there is a shut-off element. The fitting is screwed into the pump housing, and the return line is connected to the external thread.

This type of bypass valve works as follows. At low pressure in the supply line, the valve is closed due to spring force - fuel is supplied to the discharge sections. When the engine operating mode changes, the operation of the injection pump and the fuel priming pump also changes; at some point, the fuel pressure in the supply line increases, which can complicate the operation of the injection sections. When the threshold pressure is exceeded (which lies at the level of 58-80 kPa), the spring force is overcome and the valve opens - excess fuel is discharged into the tank through the return line. When the pressure drops, the valve closes again.

It should be noted that in multi-section pumps, the pressure reducing valve is mainly responsible for removing excess fuel, and air is removed from the system by a nozzle valve installed on the fine fuel filter.

Bypass valve of distribution injection pumps. This valve performs the same functions as the bypass valve of multi-section pumps. It is installed immediately after the fuel priming pump and discharges excess fuel when the pressure rises. The valve can be made in the form of a bolt or fitting, or it can be built directly into the pump housing.

Throttling valve for bypass of distribution injection pumps. This unit combines two parts - a fuel drain nozzle and the bypass valve itself. Distribution-type pumps have a drain jet - a small-diameter hole through which fuel is constantly drained into the return line. The jet circulates fuel through the pump, due to which the parts of the unit are cooled and air is removed from it. In some pumps, there is no nozzle as such; it is combined with a bypass throttling valve, which at low pressure always allows a certain amount of fuel to pass through, and when the pressure rises, it opens and dumps excess fuel into the return line.

The bypass throttling valve has a design similar to a conventional bypass valve, but its body has an additional small-diameter hole - a nozzle, permanently connected to the return line. The valve shut-off element is located above the jet and does not close it. As pressure increases, the shut-off element overcomes the elasticity of the spring, rises and opens the main drain hole - in this case, excess fuel enters the return line. When the pressure drops, the shut-off element returns to its original position and fuel is drained only through the nozzle.

Fuel system check valve: 4 main faults and how to fix them

Fuel pressure in the car system is one of the important parameters that is used in engine diagnostics. The behavior of the car in various operating modes depends on the pressure. How to measure the pressure in the fuel system with your own hands

For example, buy a device to check fuel pressure. A kit with a fuel pressure gauge, adapter and drain will cost you 1400-1500 rubles. Pay 300-400 rubles to the service station and take measurements there. You can also measure the pressure in the fuel system with an air pressure gauge, which is used to measure tire pressure. Here at this point in more detail. Let's take the example of the tenth VAZ 2110 family. Otherwise, the procedure is similar to any other car. The peculiarity of pressure gauges is that their initial scale values ​​have relative inaccuracy. What does it mean. If the air pressure gauge has a scale of up to 16-20 atm (when the measurement limit for fuel is 5-7 atm), then pressure measurements will not be accurate due to this error, which will fall within the initial values ​​of the instrument scale. Therefore, it is correct to check the fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge with a limit of 6-7 atm.

We take a pressure gauge and wrap a piece of foam (plumbing flax) under the pipe and put on an oxygen hose with an internal diameter of 9 mm. Secure with clamps. Place a rag on the generator (so as not to start a fire under the hood). Unscrew the plastic cap on the fuel rail.

put the hose on the pressure gauge

Under the cap there is a hole with a nipple. Unscrew it from the wheel cap. Due to the residual pressure in the rail after removing the nipple, gasoline will splash out.

If desired, you can relieve the pressure in the vehicle's fuel system. To do this, you need to remove the fuel pump fuse and wait until the running car stalls.

We put the second end of the hose on the ramp hole and secure it with a clamp. We remove the rag from the generator and start the engine. Don’t forget to cover the generator with a rag again before removing the hose from the ramp. That's it, now you know how to check the pressure in the fuel system in the field.

attach the hose with pressure gauge to the fitting

check the fuel pressure in the system

By the way, instead of clamps, you can use the classic adjusting bolt bushing. It screws perfectly onto the ramp fitting. To seal, we put a suitable rubber ring on the fitting. On the other side of the bushing we solder a fitting onto which we put a hose with a pressure gauge.

What pressure should be in the VAZ 2110 fuel system? 2.8–3.2 bar (2.8–3.2 atm)

How to measure fuel pressure in a system where there is no return? On VAZ 2110 with 1.6 liter engines, the pressure in the ramp is constant and amounts to 3.6-4.0 atm. Otherwise, the measurement technique is similar. Alternative ways:

It is measured at the outlet fitting of the fuel pump module - this is the one with one tube. You will need a flexible gas-resistant hose with an internal diameter of about 8 mm and a pressure gauge (you need to remove the tube and put on a hose with a pressure gauge instead). The pressure should be 5-7 atm. Close the return line, as is done on an internal combustion engine with a drain ramp, but you must turn it off again at the fuel pump itself. We pull off the second hose (double) and insert a plug into the removed hose, made, for example, from an old fuel filter (saw off the nipple from it and plug it). A single hose must be put on the pump fitting, and now the measurement must be made at the fuel rail. According to the power system diagram, everything will be clear.

Malfunctions and repairs

You can repair KamAZ fuel injection pump yourself if you have the necessary tools and equipment.

Main fuel injection pump malfunctions and reasons for their occurrence:

1. Water in the fuel mechanism. This breakdown may indicate a malfunction of the fuel filter element, diluted fuel, or a leak in the fuel drives.
2. Reduced and uneven supply of working fluid. In this case, it is recommended to check the plunger for damage, and also inspect the discharge valves and rack clamps. The capacity of the injectors should be checked.
3. The diesel fuel is running out. The cause of this breakdown may be a leak in the fuel drive. The damaged element should be replaced.
4. The drive is tearing. It is recommended to inspect the crankshaft, as well as the main components of the power unit for damage and foreign bodies.
5. Delay of the working fluid injection system. Such a malfunction can be caused by damage to the plane of the adjusting bolt of the pusher element, the roller axis and failures in the rotation speed of the cam shaft.

How to remove and disassemble

1. Remove the terminal from the battery.
2. Remove the radiator.
3. Remove the vacuum pump.
4. Remove the oil dipstick guide pipe.
5. Remove the oil filter filter mechanism.
6. Turn the crankshaft in the direction of rotation until it stops.
7. Disconnect fuel drives.
8. Remove the vacuum hose.
9. Block the crankshaft from turning.
10. Unscrew the bolt in the center of the coupling.
11. Remove the chain tensioner.
12. Pull out the pump by dismantling the fuel pedal drive.

Disassembling the KamAZ fuel injection pump is done as follows:

1. It is necessary to remove the metering type valve from the end of the pump housing. To do this, you need to unscrew the bolts of the pressure plate and release the advance valves of the injection system.
2. Then you should remove the fastenings on the top cover.
3. You need to disassemble the control board to gain access to the electronics.
4. It is necessary to set the required position of the crankshaft.
5. Then you need to dismantle the bearing using special equipment.
6. At the end, all parts should be washed and their surface polished.

Adjusting the pneumatic corrector

The function of the KamAZ 740 injection pump pneumatic corrector is to regulate the fuel supply. When the air flow pressure decreases, the amount of fuel supplied is reduced, which prevents overheating and smoking of the engine. Also, the operation of such equipment affects engine oil consumption: if everything is in order, then oil consumption is uniform.

Adjusting the pneumatic corrector allows you to change the amount of fuel entering the injectors. The whole process is very simple, does not have a complex sequence of actions and can be easily done with your own hands. The pneumatic corrector is adjusted by two bolts:

The first is responsible for spring tension and is located coaxially with the spool. The corrector operates at increased pressure, which means it is necessary to increase the spring tension by tightening the bolt.

The second screw is responsible for the direct supply of fuel; unwinding it will increase the volume of incoming fuel.

On the Internet you can find pictures and videos showing step-by-step adjustment of the corrector. Fuel supply corrector circuit:

How to add or reduce fuel

Adjusting the Bosch injection pump on KamAZ makes it possible to add fuel, i.e. set the required fuel supply value.

Procedure for reducing fuel:

1. Using a key of 13, you need to adjust the air flow to the mechanisms of the power unit. Thanks to this, diesel will be able to mix with air.
2. Make adjustments to the corrector and start the motor for testing.
3. If necessary, you need to further tighten the air flow until the smoke stops coming out.

In order to add fuel to the KamAZ injection pump (Euro-2 or Euro-3), you need to do the following:

1. Tighten the special screws that are located in the upper and side parts of the working fluid supply.
2. When unscrewing the bolts, you need to increase the gap for the passage of the combustible mixture. This will help normalize the performance of the power unit and the lubrication system of the high-pressure fuel pump.
3. Having increased the diameter of the hole, you should start the engine and check the operation of all systems.

How can you check a check valve?

You can find out what condition the fuel valve is in as follows.

Using a pressure gauge, check the pressure. It should be within 3 kg per cm2. These are figures for passenger cars.

You can find out how the device works by pinching the “return” fuel hoses. If the permanent mechanical structure is in order, the pressure should increase.

Self-diagnosis can be carried out without using a pressure gauge. This concerns the problem of unstable operation of the internal combustion engine (ICE) and poor acceleration

Having pinched the rubber hose that moves the fuel in the opposite direction, you need to pay attention to the operation of the engine. If the speed increases and the engine cylinders operate as planned, then the check valve is faulty

Why is a control valve needed?

The fuel supply system of most passenger cars requires continuous operation of an electric fuel pump. It constantly pumps gasoline into the fuel line and ramp, raising the pressure to the maximum (5–7 Bar depending on the brand of car). But such performance is needed only under increased load on the engine, when it develops high speeds and consumes a lot of fuel mixture. In normal mode, a fuel pressure at the injectors of 3–3.5 bar is sufficient.

The fuel pressure diaphragm valve, installed in the engine power system after the fuel pump, performs 3 main functions:

1. Limits the fuel pressure in the line at low engine loads, dumping excess fuel back into the tank through a separate tube.
2. When the gasoline consumption of the power unit increases, the return flow is partially or completely blocked by the regulator. In this way, the valve maintains the minimum pressure required for normal operation of the motor.
3. Maintaining pressure for a long time after stopping the power unit.

Without an RTD, the pump would “push through” the locking mechanisms of the injectors and gasoline would flow into the cylinders uncontrollably. In addition, the regulator protects the line from leaks at the connections, which will inevitably appear under the influence of strong pressure.

Reference

Many people know that the fuel system valve aggregates:

1. With carburetor power units running on gasoline.
2. With engines equipped with an injector.
3. With power supply systems for power plants, where diesel fuel is used as fuel.

There is nothing complicated about the mechanical design. This is a ball-type device with a seat, which is made of soft metal, with the most accurate balancing. Fuel flows freely through the fuel valve in one direction. The pressure that is created prevents gasoline or diesel fuel from flowing back into the fuel tank, since the non-demountable structure is locked.

Despite its simplicity, the device can cause a lot of trouble for a novice and an experienced driver. Therefore, it is necessary to know its possible vagaries and ways to eliminate breakdowns. But first of all, understand where the mechanical structure is installed.

“The concept of a fuel system check valve should not be confused with a pressure reducing device.”

Operating principle of RTD

The valve design and operating principle depend on the type of fuel system of a particular vehicle. There are 3 ways to supply gasoline from the tank to the injectors:

1. The pump together with the regulator is installed inside the tank; fuel is supplied to the engine through one line.
2. Gasoline is supplied through one tube and returned through another. The fuel system check valve is located on the distribution rail.
3. The circuit without a mechanical regulator provides for electronic control of the fuel pump directly. The system contains a special sensor that registers pressure; the pump performance is regulated by the controller.

In the first case, the return flow is very short, since the valve and electric pump are interlocked into a single unit. The RTD, located immediately after the supercharger, dumps excess gasoline into the tank, and the required pressure is maintained throughout the supply line.

Reference. The first scheme with a regulator inside the gas tank has been implemented on all Russian-made VAZ cars.

The second option is used in most foreign cars. A valve built into the fuel rail allows excess fuel to flow into the return line leading to the tank. That is, 2 gasoline pipes are laid to the power unit.

There is no point in considering the third circuit - instead of a regulator, there is a sensor whose functionality is checked using a computer connected to the diagnostic connector.

A simple fuel pressure valve installed in the fuel pump unit consists of the following elements:

• cylindrical body with pipes for connecting the supply and return lines;
• a membrane connected to a locking rod;
• valve seat;
• spring.

How to check the pressure in a system with no return?

The VAZ-2110 with a volume of 1.6 liters has constant pressure indicators in the ramp, which, as a rule, vary around 3.6-4 bars.

In addition to the most commonly used measurement methods described above, there are several more unusual solutions:

a) Here we return again to the hose with a pressure gauge, the diameter of which should be 7.5-8 millimeters. Measurements should be taken at the outlet of the fuel pump module. Five to seven atmospheres are normal test results.

b) Remember how the return line is closed on motors with a drain frame. It is recommended to turn off the engine directly at the gasoline pump. Next, you will need to remove the double hose and insert a plug (“The nipple” from an old fuel filter may also be suitable for this task). Now you need to pull a single tube onto the pump fitting. The measurements themselves must be made at the fuel rail.

How to clear a blockage if the fuel supply line is clogged.

One of the reasons for low pressure may be a malfunction of the sensor that regulates the fuel pressure before injection. Low pressure may also be a consequence of a clogged fuel line. By taking proper measurements, you can accurately determine the cause of the malfunction. First, you should check the pressure of the pump and line, then measure the pressure in the ramp. All of the above will help determine the exact cause.

How to clear clogged fuel injectors.

There are several signs to tell you that your fuel injectors are dirty. Let's start in order.

1. Difficulty starting the engine.
2. Unstable engine operation.
3. Dips in the timing of sharp pressure on the gas pedal.
4. Loss of power and deterioration in acceleration dynamics.
5. Increased toxicity of treated gases.
6. Increased fuel consumption.
7. The occurrence of detonation.
8. Popping sounds in the exhaust system.
9. Misfires.

To solve this problem you need to clean the fuel injectors.

Clogged valve. How to identify and fix the problem.

When the valve is clogged, fuel is difficult to pass through, and because of this, it begins to leak everywhere. A significantly increased fuel consumption indicates that it is time to change the regulator, since it is the leading component. Fuel stops being supplied to the supply system if the valve becomes completely clogged.

What to do if the valve is stuck.

Uneven pressure in the system is usually the result of a stuck valve. Because of this, the vehicle's movement may be uneven. The car may also jerk or stall.

To the last drop: how to check the fuel pump yourself?

The death of a fuel pump is always sad. But it's not always obvious. Symptoms of its wear or failure are quite numerous and varied, so it is not always clear whether it is to blame for the abnormal behavior of the machine or not. Moreover, some of its malfunctions lead to symptoms that are characteristic of leaking injectors, misfires, low compression, and much more. Therefore, diagnosing a fuel pump is not only entertaining, but also often necessary. Especially if nothing else helps.

Very briefly about the symptoms

Fortunately, most engine problems can now be diagnosed using a scanner. This makes life much easier for motorists and car service workers, if only for the reason that misfires or sensor malfunctions do not need to be looked for using complex conclusions and step-by-step replacement of everything. There are exceptions, of course, and no one excludes working with the brain, but still. But what to do if all the electronic systems are in order, there are no errors, but the car is desperately stupid? This is where they usually remember that there is such a part - a fuel pump. And you have to check it the old fashioned way - with your hands, and not with a laptop.

The main symptoms of a malfunctioning check valve and fuel pressure regulator

The main symptoms of malfunction of OKDT and RDT are very similar, which sometimes makes it difficult to determine the culprit of the problem if both devices are present in the car. The location of the malfunction can be determined by measuring the operating pressure output from the devices at the outlet.

A typical sign of a malfunction of the OKDT is unstable engine starting (especially after idle time). Through a faulty valve (weakened spring, worn seat or valve stopper), fuel leaks back into the tank, as a result, the pressure in the fuel system may be insufficient for normal starting. In diesel engines, a faulty OKDT can lead to “airing” of the fuel lines and unstable engine operation even while driving.

Symptoms of a faulty pressure relief valve can be more varied, and some of them may also be signs of problems with the check valve - it is best to leave the verdict to an auto mechanic. In any case, the pressure reducing and check valves cannot be repaired - they are replaced entirely, fortunately they are inexpensive. You should think about diagnosing and replacing these parts if your car exhibits the following symptoms:

• Car has low engine speed
• The car stalls for no reason
• Engine stalls when accelerating
• Increased fuel consumption
• When accelerating, black smoke comes out of the exhaust pipe (this may be a sign of excess fuel in the combustion chambers)
• Increased CO and CH emissions (can be recorded during inspection)

A malfunction of the fuel pump check valve is indirectly confirmed under the following conditions:

One hundred percent confirmation of a malfunction of the fuel pump check valve will only be provided by connecting a pressure gauge directly to the fuel pump (or to the fuel filter), that is, the system must be shut off with the pressure gauge, turning on the fuel pump, and visually observing the pressure created by the fuel pump during its operation and the residual pressure after stopping.

Read more about the operation of the fuel system, fuel pump and the check valve in particular here https://enc.drom.ru/3397/

Quote from the article: “The exhaust check valve, located in the exhaust port, maintains residual fuel pressure in the fuel system when the engine is turned off. This improves starting performance and reduces vapor lock. Without residual fuel pressure in the system, pressure would need to be built up every time the engine was started, which would increase the cranking time. When a hot engine is turned off, the temperature of the fuel in the line around the engine increases. Keeping the system pressurized increases the boiling point of the fuel and prevents fuel evaporation.

The pressure bypass valve opens if the pressure in the fuel system increases. This is a safety device to prevent the fuel line from rupturing and damaging the pump.”

The diagnostician pointed to the lambda, as if he had no other complaints. Well, as usual, there are no guarantees that everything will be OK with the new lambda. He says that we have to start somewhere)))))) I’ll clean the contacts and then order a new one.

Anyway, I disconnected the lambda, the contacts are clean. The check does not light up with the switch off

And the check will not light up for Lambda, only during self-diagnosis it will show code 21. i.e. oxygenator.

Malfunctions of the fuel system can make themselves felt in a rather unpleasant form, for example, sudden “dips” when the engine reaches a large number of revolutions. If the car “stumbles” while accelerating or jerks while driving, etc., then this may also mean there are problems with the fuel system. A mandatory engine check in such a situation is simply necessary! Only after diagnostics can you understand where the problem lies. The text below will discuss the principle of operation of the system. I would like to say right away that there is nothing complicated here. The main task of a fuel pump, which it does an excellent job of, is pumping fuel. Excess gasoline goes back through the pressure regulator. As a rule, changes in gasoline pressure in the ramp can vary depending on pressing the gas pedal. After turning off the engine, the pressure will begin to decrease. Depending on the quality of the valve fixation, this can take from 5-10 minutes to 5-6 hours.

It is also worth remembering that in order to check the pressure during diagnostics, the following mandatory conditions must be observed - do this when the ignition is turned on, at idle, with the hose crushed and the regulator tube dropped.

If no problems arise, at XX the pressure should be within 2.5 atmospheres. Approximately 3.2-3.3 atmospheres with the RTD tube dropped. And 6.8-7.0 atmospheres if the return pipe is compressed

Indicators when pressing the gas pedal should be given special attention. During a sharp boost in gas pressure can rise to about three atmospheres, but soon it will return to 2.3-3 atmospheres

There is another way to check the fuel system that can help you even if you don't have a pressure gauge on hand. There is nothing complicated here either. Unscrew the hose that supplies fuel and apply voltage to the fuel pump, also do not forget to prepare some container. If about a liter and a half of gasoline comes out in about a minute, this means that everything is in order.

There is also one simple method for checking the fuel system. This is done using spark plugs. To determine the condition, you need to open the hood and carefully inspect the spark plugs. Wet spark plugs are a sure sign of fuel supply. If the spark plugs are dry, most likely fuel is not supplied, which means that it is necessary to diagnose the fuel system.

To summarize, it should be mentioned that in reality, checking the fuel pressure on a VAZ-2110 is not as difficult as you might think. But it is also worth remembering that anything can happen, so you must be prepared for any unforeseen situations.

Diagnostics

If you notice characteristic signs, you should first make sure that the problem lies in the sensor. To do this you will need to do the following:

• unscrew the fitting plug, which is located on the end of the ramp block and performs the functions of monitoring the fuel pressure;
• there is a special ring at the bottom of the plug that compensates for distances - inspect it carefully;
• if the ring is damaged, has flaws, or has become less elastic, be sure to replace it with a new one;
• then, using the tire cap, unscrew the spool located in the middle of the fitting;
• Using a tire pressure gauge, which is usually used to inflate wheels, measure the pressure when the power unit is operating. Compare the resulting value with the one recommended by the car manufacturer. As a rule, it should not exceed 3.3 units.

Basically, when the vacuum hose of the sensor is disconnected, the pressure begins to increase.

If it remains at the same level, it means that the fuel pressure sensor in the VAZ 2110 ramp is definitely broken and requires replacement.

In the future, it is recommended to regularly inspect the RTD. If, after replacing a part, fuel consumption still remains high, the replacement may have been carried out incorrectly and should be carried out more carefully.

How to troubleshoot the VAZ 2110 fuel pressure regulator?

Replacing the fuel pressure regulator yourself on a car like a VAZ 2110 should not cause any special problems.

Even a beginner can cope with the task, so there is no need to immediately seek help from specialists at a service station and pay them a fairly large sum of money. In addition, not every car service center will do quality repairs.

In any case, any owner of the VAZ 2110 model should know exactly how to replace the fuel regulator.

You will need to complete the following steps:

• reduce the pressure in the fuel system;
• Unscrew the bolt that secures the fuel pipe to the fuel sensor;
• using a 10mm wrench, remove the fastening to the oil level indicator guide tube and remove the tube;
• Unscrew the 2 nuts securing the sensor to the injector ramp;
• remove the sensor fitting from the ramp;
• remove the gasoline hose from the RTD;
• remove the broken fuel pressure regulator;
• install a new sensor together with it.

When installing a new pressure sensor, the old cuffs should be replaced, since they mostly lose their original qualities. You can also try soaking them in gasoline, but most likely this will not help them work as before.

So, the fuel pressure regulator is one of the main components of the VAZ 2110 car, as well as any other car

It is responsible for the normal operation of the entire fuel system, which is why it is so important to constantly monitor its condition and, if characteristic signs of failure are detected, immediately replace it with a new sensor or eliminate existing defects

How can you check a check valve?

You can find out what condition the fuel valve is in as follows.

Using a pressure gauge, check the pressure. It should be within 3 kg per cm 2. These are figures for passenger cars.

You can find out how the device works by pinching the “return” fuel hoses. If the permanent mechanical structure is in order, the pressure should increase.

This method is only for cars that have rubber hoses installed.

Self-diagnosis can be carried out without using a pressure gauge. This concerns the problem of unstable operation of the internal combustion engine (ICE) and poor acceleration

Having pinched the rubber hose that moves the fuel in the opposite direction, you need to pay attention to the operation of the engine. If the speed increases and the engine cylinders operate as planned, then the check valve is faulty

Troubleshooting methods

To replace a faulty part, select a spare part with a cross-section of the same size as the old device. If there is a discrepancy, the valve will start to skip. The installation location is chosen in the area between the filter and the fuel pump.

Comment!

It’s easy to check the operation of a new part. They drive up a hill, if the power does not drop sharply, then the product fits perfectly.

In some car models, it is easier to change the fuel pump than to remove a faulty check valve. Usually such a solution is offered at service stations. Car enthusiasts who repair their cars themselves choose other options:

• wash the part from clogging with a powerful stream of water, use a car wash for this;
• remove dirt particles by lightly tapping the body;
• install another check valve on the fuel line.

If a “symptom” of a malfunctioning check valve appears, experts recommend diagnostics

It doesn’t matter where to do it - at a service station or on your own, the main thing is to find the cause of unstable engine operation and eliminate it in time

Which way to go

There are two options for eliminating the problem. Take the car to a service station and wait for the repairs to be completed. In this case, you need to shell out a certain amount of money, it’s a pity.

Having knowledge and understanding of the car’s structure, you can carry out repairs yourself. Saving money in person. However, there is a possibility of stepping on a pitfall. Can't deal with the problem.

Then you will have to shell out additional money for repairs in a specialized center, how do you like this prospect? In any case, the decision is yours to make.

Experts recommend not to reinvent the wheel, but to give the car to professionals who will replace it quickly, with a guarantee of quality.

Characteristic symptoms of a check valve malfunction

It could be:

• unexpected change in speed of the power unit at startup or while driving;
• The engine can be started by pressing the accelerator pedal. Although before this the power unit was driven by a starter;
• Unstable engine operation at low or idle speeds;
• loss of fuel that escapes through the supply or return pipes. In this case, the sealing of the fuel hoses is not broken.

In our case, the non-removable mechanical structure can be easily repaired. This is on the one hand. On the other hand, the problem cannot be determined by scanning. Next, let's look at options for checking the device.

What to pay attention to

There are characteristic signs indicating a malfunction of the check valve:

• unstable operation of the engine at minimum speed;
• the engine starts only after a long rotation of the starter and simultaneous pressing of the gas pedal;
• gasoline leakage from fuel hoses, which does not go away after replacing them and tightening the clamps;
• sudden change in idle speed.

Due to the mechanical design of the fuel system check valve, its functionality cannot be checked using special instruments used for electronic sensors. However, it cannot be disassembled and cannot be repaired due to the unavailability of individual parts for sale and the low cost of the structure itself.

The pressure level in the fuel system allows you to determine the serviceability of the valve. You can measure it with a pressure gauge by connecting it to the section that supplies power to the motor. Afterwards, all that remains is to record the device’s readings. For passenger cars, the normal pressure level should be approximately 3 kg/cm2. In this case, there should not be a sharp decrease in the level when the engine stops. A rapid decrease in pressure indicates that there is a malfunction in the fuel system check valve.

Fuel pressure check valve (OKDT) - design and functions

The purpose of a check valve in any hydraulic system is to allow fluid to pass through itself in only one direction. In the fuel system of a car, such a valve is necessary to ensure that the fuel entering the fuel system does not flow back into the tank after the fuel pump is turned off.

Typically, the design of a check valve is extremely simple - the shut-off and control element in it is a ball or cone, which does not prevent the flow of fuel under pressure into the fuel system, but when the pressure stops, it prevents the fuel from flowing back, locking the valve seat with its own weight or under the action of a pressure spring.

The fuel check valve can be installed anywhere in the fuel system - from the gas tank to the fuel rail (the part of the fuel system responsible for distributing fuel to the injectors). In diesel engines with preheating, OKDT is placed in front of the heating system.

What is a check valve

The check valve in the fuel system should only allow fuel to flow in one direction. This is the main purpose of OKDT. When the fuel pump is not working, the device automatically closes the return fuel line to prevent unused fuel from flowing into the tank.

When the valves are working properly, the pressure in the main pipes does not drop for a long time after the engine stops. The small part is calibrated. The design consists of several elements:

• housing with outputs;
• ball-type valve with a seat made of soft metal;
• membrane;
• spring.

Comment!
Improving the starting characteristics of the internal combustion engine is the main function of the exhaust valve. A working part installed in a certain location in the fuel line maintains the optimal value of the residual pressure.

It is not difficult to understand how a valve installed on a ramp works:

1. When the fuel injection pump is running, OKDT does not interfere with the movement of fuel in the forward direction.
2. When the fuel pump turns off (when the engine stops), a reverse flow of working fluid occurs in the line.
3. The reverse flow of fuel creates pressure, which closes the valve.
4. The fuel remains in the line, creating residual pressure.

The operation of the entire fuel system of the vehicle depends on the small device. If there is no residual pressure in the line, it must be created every time the engine is started. The driver is forced to spend extra time cranking the starter.

How to find your device

There are models in which the valve is mounted in the fuel rail housing. A common installation location is the section of the fuel line located between the injectors and the tank.

There are vehicles in which the part is mounted directly into the fuel pump housing. In modern cars equipped with a fuel preheating system, the OKDT housing is located before the preheater. The installation location depends on the make of the machine:

Reference! In older cars, the fuel pump was installed on the cylinder block. It was equipped with a sealed exhaust valve to prevent unused fuel from flowing back into the tank.

Why is OKDT confused with RDT?

Many car enthusiasts consider the fuel pressure regulator (FPR) to be a check valve. In fact, these are parts of different design and purpose. RTD valves come in two types:

• modulated by atmospheric pressure;
• vacuum-modulated.

Reference! The purpose of the RTD is to maintain a certain level of pressure in the pipes. It is installed in the fuel lines of two types of engines - diesel and injection. The pressure regulator valve always operates in parallel with the OKDT.

In vehicles with “return”, the mounting area of ​​the pressure control valve is located on the fuel rail. It is located between the fuel rail and the return line. If the return line is not included in the circuit, the part is installed in the fuel tank housing. The performance of the injectors and the stable operation of the engine depend on the proper operation of the device.

Design features and principle of operation

Structurally, the VAZ-2114 fuel pressure regulator is a membrane bypass valve enclosed in a metal casing. It is mounted on the ramp and inserted into it with one of the pipes through a rubber seal. The other output of the RTD is connected to the fuel line. To determine the load on the engine, the regulator is connected to the intake manifold with a vacuum hose. Thus, on the one hand, the membrane is acted upon by fuel supplied under pressure from the fuel pump, and on the other, by air pressure and the force of the valve spring.

The VAZ-2114 fuel pressure regulator has a fairly simple operating principle. When you press the accelerator pedal, excess pressure is created in the intake manifold, which opens the valve slightly, allowing more fuel into the ramp. When the throttle valve is closed, the air pressure in the intake pipe weakens. The valve opens in the other direction, releasing gasoline back into the fuel line.

Possible malfunctions of the RTD

Considering that the design of the pressure regulator is mechanical, malfunctions in its operation can occur quite often. The most common device malfunctions include:

• weakening of the membrane spring;
• valve jamming;
• regulator clogging;
• violation of the tightness of the junction of the regulator and the ramp body.

When the diaphragm spring weakens, the valve cannot cope with the air pressure coming from the intake manifold. As a result, the pressure and amount of incoming fuel are reduced.

Valve jamming leads to an uncontrolled supply of fuel to the manifold and its “waste” into the fuel line. In this case, gasoline consumption increases, and the engine stops starting normally due to interruptions in the fuel supply.

Similar signs of malfunction can be observed when the regulator is clogged. Dirt and deposits reduce the throughput of the system, as a result of which the fuel pressure decreases significantly, the engine “chokes”, and normal idle speed disappears.

If the seal between the regulator and the ramp is broken, the air pressure may drop, which again will lead to a decrease in fuel pressure.

Work order

1. First, disconnect the negative terminal from the battery (key to “10”).
2. Disconnect the regulator vacuum hose from the intake manifold fitting.
3. Using a “17” wrench, unscrew the nut securing the drain hose. Disconnect the hose.
4. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the bolt of the return pipeline clamping plate.
5. Using a hex wrench set to “5”, unscrew the screws securing the RTD to the fuel rail.
6. Using a “24” wrench, unscrew the nut connecting the drain hose fitting and the RTD.
7. Remove the fuel pressure regulator.

That's basically the whole process. Installation of the RTD is carried out in the reverse order

Important: do not lose the rubber seal that comes with the regulator. Without it, the connection between the RTD and the fuel rail will be leaky, which will lead to a change in the operating pressure in the system

Symptoms of element failure

During the operation of the car, a car owner may encounter two types of RTD failure:

1. The pressure drop in the rail is below the permissible level - the regulator directs most of the fuel through the return line to the gas tank.
2. Increase in pressure to maximum - the element does not allow fuel to flow into the return line.

Note. As a rule, the first malfunction is accompanied by a rapid drop in pressure in the system after the electric fuel pump is turned off.

It is quite simple to track the signs of the first malfunction - the power unit is sorely lacking fuel for normal operation in all modes. Symptoms appear as follows:

• cold starting is difficult, the engine runs extremely unstable until it warms up;
• “dips” during acceleration and jerks when moving uphill;
• the car often stalls at idle;
• Gasoline consumption per 100 km increases.

The increased fuel consumption is explained by the actions of the driver trying to compensate for the lack of fuel mixture by pressing the accelerator pedal. Driving in this mode is quite difficult - it is better to immediately check the fuel pressure regulator for functionality.

When the valve does not allow excess fuel to flow into the tank, the following consequences are observed:

1. Due to too high pressure from the ramp side, the injectors begin to leak and fill the cylinders with pure gasoline, and not with the working air-fuel mixture.
2. The engine is bad, it emits black smoke from the exhaust, and sometimes you can hear popping noises in the exhaust manifold. The reason is flashes of unburnt fuel.
3. Consumption increases noticeably.
4. Leaks may be observed at the joints of the fuel pipes, and a strong gasoline smell may be felt.

Practical experience shows that a lack of fuel mixture occurs more often than an excess. That is, the most common problem with an RTD is the draining of gasoline into the return pipe and tank.

The principle of operation of the main elements of the fuel unit

Fuel system VAZ 2114

Container for storing flammable materials

It is made of steel, consists of two firmly welded parts, the neck through which the fuel enters is connected to the tank with a rubber pipe and secured with clamps.

Gasoline pump

This tool with an electric mechanism is located in a tank with a fuel mixture level indicator. Its actions are coordinated by the engine control box, through a special pump relay, which supplies fuel through the line to the injectors. At idle or when the engine is completely turned off, the pressure is maintained due to the action of a one-way lock, which is located near the unit itself.

The VAZ 2114 power system has a fuel pressure regulator and injectors. The voltage is supplied to them from the battery through the main relay. Thus, the amount of driving fluid is indicated by the duration of the pulses, which are generated by the engine control unit and transmitted to the injectors.

Ramp

Located on the intake manifold, it includes a fuel control element and a pressure valve with a spring-loaded diaphragm. It, in turn, divides the regulator body into 2 parts: the fuel part regulates the pressure of the combustible mixture, the air part, due to the rarefaction of the air, raises the membrane and produces constant fuel pressure readings in the rail.

When the engine starts, the vacuum behind the damper decreases, the diaphragm closes the power system valve, so the pressure increases. When the vacuum is maximum, then the fuel pressure decreases. The regulator is not dismountable, so if it fails, it is replaced with another one.

Fuel mixture control sensor

The pump module has a float, which is located in the tank cavity. When the position of the float changes, the resistance of the unit changes proportionally. According to a certain signal, the fuel quantity indicator on the dashboard displays the presence of fuel in the system.

Why does the sensor often fail?

• fragility of the case;
• frequent temperature changes;
• condensation formation in the tank;
• when using a low-quality combustible mixture;
• oxidation of contacts when sealing is broken.

That is why it is so important to carry out preventive maintenance on time, clean the unit, change contacts in order to prevent its destruction. Changing a device is not that easy. Many markings are original and unique, which means that the services of professionals will be required, which are also not cheap

Hoses and pipelines

Such irreplaceable products guarantee uninterrupted circulation of flammable liquid from the container to the main line and nozzles, and if there is excess, they transfer the residual liquid back to the tank. The pipelines are located on the bottom of the vehicle, they need to be carefully checked, cleaned, inspected for integrity, various deformations identified and promptly eliminated in order to avoid fuel leakage, as well as poor transmission to the injectors.

Another function of the pipelines is the transfer of fuel vapor from the tank to the activated carbon section, where waste is collected when the engine is turned off. After it is started, the electromagnetic device is triggered and the vapors escape into the engine, where they are destroyed.

Highway

The design of the VAZ 2114 fuel system includes a main line that guarantees the supply of fuel to all injectors. Today, the fuel pressure regulator is placed in the tank and is not located on the line; there is also a service valve, which performs the function of eliminating air after a technical inspection of the vehicle.

The fuel injection system of the VAZ 2114 includes an uninterrupted mode for collecting fuel vapors, and the gravitational unit located in the device helps prevent fuel from leaking when the vehicle is in an emergency position.

When the engine's air consumption is high, the system is purged more intensively. The filter element is made of durable paper material, after which the air moves through the mass air flow sensor and moves into the intake hose, which leads to the throttle assembly.

Thus, the operation of the fuel fluid supply mode of an engine with a fuel injection system on a VAZ 2114 car occurs.

Types of valves

• 1 Types of valves
• 2 A little about fuel injection pump

Modern injection pumps use several valves. One of the main ones is injection. Let's consider its functions and tasks.

1. One of the tasks of the discharge valve is to prevent the penetration of gases from the engine into the fuel injection pump.
2. Thanks to this valve, leakage of the injectors is reduced, and the injection of the injectors is stopped abruptly and instantly.
3. It provides improved fuel filling of the pump.
4. Creates residual pressure in systems and allows you to reduce it, which makes it possible to more clearly maintain injection phases and better control the process.
5. The injection valve adjusts the fuel supply, bringing the performance closer to ideal.

It is customary to distinguish discharge valves by type: cylindrical, combined, mushroom, etc.

Diagnostics and troubleshooting of check valve operation

So, you suspect that the vehicle's performance has decreased due to a malfunction of the fuel system check valve, and there are some signs of its malfunction. In order to find out whether this is so, several methods are used.

Most often, the pressure level is checked. An adequate pressure level should be about 3 kg/cm2 (for passenger cars). At the same time, the pressure level should not drop sharply when the engine is stopped. Otherwise, this will also be a sign of a faulty check valve.

As mentioned above, hose compression is sometimes used. But this method is not always suitable, since only a rubber elastic hose can be compressed.

Be sure to determine the reason why the fuel system is filling with air. If it is functioning correctly, a small amount of liquid should remain in the chamber awaiting the next engine start. If the valve is missing or worn out, air appears instead of this fluid. Starting the engine in such conditions will be disproportionately difficult.

So, as a result of measuring the pressure with a pressure gauge inserted into the rail, you concluded that after stopping the engine it began to drop significantly. In this case, either there is a defect in the fuel line, or the valve itself is faulty. If the result at the outlet of the fuel pump is different, then the valve is faulty.

To fix the problem, select a high-quality check valve from a spare parts store that fits the cross-sectional dimensions. If you select a valve with the wrong cross-sectional dimensions, it may begin to “slip.” Before purchasing, check the operation of the valve on site, if possible. The check valve must be cut into the line at any suitable location.

For example, this can be done between the fuel pump and the filter. After this, test the functionality of your car by driving it up a hill at an angle. If the car shows no signs of loss of power, then the valve has failed.

Sometimes there is no need to replace the valve, but the fuel pump itself needs to be replaced. However, this procedure is much more expensive. An alternative option is to install an additional valve. When choosing a valve, keep in mind that models for Russian cars often differ in cross-section from foreign cars.

There is also a folk method for troubleshooting, but it is only suitable if the valve is clogged. You need to hit the valve a couple of times with a hammer. The impact force must be calculated to avoid mechanical damage. With this effect, foreign bodies trapped in the valve can be crushed or even fly out of the valve. But most often it is much easier to replace the valve with a new one.

Examination

If you find characteristic symptoms, first we recommend that you make sure that the problem with the car is related specifically to this sensor.

The inspection is carried out as follows:

• At the end of the ramp block there is a fitting designed to check the pressure indicator;
• It is covered with a plug that you need to unscrew;
• At the bottom of this plug there is a ring that compensates for the distance;
• If there are signs of damage or defects on the ring, be sure to replace it with a new one;
• Now take the cap from the tire and unscrew the spool with its back. It is located in the middle of the fitting;
• Now a flexible hose from the measuring device is connected to the fitting. You can use a regular pressure gauge that you use when inflating tires;
• Clamp the hose with a clamp and start checking;
• Turn on idle, since this is where the vacuum is the lowest and the fuel pressure is the highest;
• Start the engine. The device should show 2.9-3.3 units;
• Now check the readings, only without the vacuum hose;
• Having removed it, the pressure gauge should give about 0.2-0.8 units. If no changes occur, then the regulator is definitely out of order and needs to be replaced.

conclusions

The fuel system check valve is an important component of this system, the failure of which can cause a lot of problems for the driver. This will be especially painful during movement. Therefore, it is worth using only high-quality fuel, and at the slightest sign of a malfunction, which were listed above, diagnosing the fuel system.

After all, the problem may lie not only in the valve, but also in other small parts. Diagnostics at a service station almost always reveals such faults, so do not forget about timely maintenance of the car, even if everything seems to be in good order. Good luck and easy travels!
