Development of a Light Load Timing Advance for Bosch A2000 Injection Pump on OM366LA - Mercedes Benz Engine

Nowadays the widespread use of Diesel engines in trucks and buses in our cities makes desirable any improvement in the engine reserves concerning emission and performance. We developed a Light Load Timing Advance (LLTA) on plungers of engine's pump OM366LA - Mercedes Benz that greatly increases the engine reserves by an optimization of the injection pump's hydraulic. The improvement were: better fuel consumption, lower white smoke and reduction of smoke in free acceleration tests.
