OEM Fuel Damper 1264700116

A fuel damper is a device that regulates the flow and pressure of fuel within a fuel delivery system. It is designed to reduce the effects of fluctuations in pressure caused by various factors such as fuel pump pulsations, changes in engine load, or sudden throttle movements. The main function of a fuel damper is to ensure a consistent and steady supply of fuel to the engine, improving fuel efficiency and maintaining optimal engine performance.

When fuel flows through the fuel damper, it passes through a chamber that contains a spring-loaded diaphragm. As the pressure fluctuates, the diaphragm moves back and forth, compressing or releasing the spring. This action effectively absorbs the excess pressure and dampens the fluctuations, allowing for a smoother and more controlled fuel flow to the engine. By reducing pressure spikes and surges, a fuel damper helps prevent fuel injection system damage and promotes better fuel atomization, resulting in improved combustion and reduced emissions.
