As far as I knew there were only four major types of fuel injection pumps.
1/ An inline pump with each piston in the pump adjustable to give the right
amount of injection with the changing quantities controlled by a rack
against the back end of the piston plungers whose housings incorporate screw
Great rundown of the different injector systems, Doug. Everything I

cummins, I think?), except the mercedes (type 1), and detroit diesel
(type 3). I haven't looked at a lot of the new ones, which are
increasingly going to type 4

Of course, you'll still get coking of the injectors from cold
