Injection pump de-fuelling rpm
our injection pumps have a built in governor system that controls fuel flow dependant on load and as we get up in RPM's around 3000rpms-3200rpm's they start defueling heavily there are some injection pumps set to defuel at 2800rpm's but those were usually designed for fleet vehicles like UPS /...- CBRF3
