About Fuel Distributor Heads

The engine is the power machine of a car, literally converting energy, in the form of fuel, into movement, and is known as an internal combustion engine. The engine is made up of several components that all work together to enable combustion to occur and in turn the car to move. The Nissan fuel distributor head is an important part of the fuel system in a fuel injected engine, which functions to pump fuel from the fuel tank into the cylinders of the engine.

In a diesel engine fuel injection is essential but petrol engines also have fuel injection systems. Located within the fuel tank, the Nissan fuel injection unit consists of an electronic injection pump and an injector nozzle or fuel distributor head which delivers fuel under high pressure to meet the demands of the fuel injection engine. Working in conjunction with a computerised control unit, the diesel injector pump pumps the fuel into the engine while ensuring the correct level of pressure is applied to enable the fuel distibutor head to inject the right amount of fuel into the engine at the right time.

The fuel distributor head operates with a fuel injection relay, and works by spraying a light mist of fuel into the chambers of the engine, controlled by the computerised control unit, which manages the timing of this process. The distributor heads are fitted close to the inlet manifold, one for each cylinder, and are all calibrated (adjusted) to equally spray a mist of fuel into the intake of each cylinder in a sequence controlled electronically, for the sequential firing of the engine. The overall result of this ensures the engine is working to its optimum, providing more power and fuel efficiency.

An engine that won't start; a misfiring engine; an engine that struggles and stutters at high speeds;  loss of power while accelerating; loss of power when driving uphill; and the vehicle surging or jumping forward when in motion could all be signs of a faulty fuel distributor head. There are many things that can go wrong in the fuel system, so it's a good idea to consult with your mechanic to establish the exact cause of the fault before buying replacement parts. Specifically designed for the make and model of your vehicle, the Nissan fuel distributor head is the ideal choice when replacing this part.
