Lift pump feeds the CP3, the CP3 feeds the rail, the rail feeds the injectors. It's the CP3 that takes a stock lift pump 8psi to 18K + psi. The high pressure atomizes the fuel for better ignition of the fuel. The fuel not used during injection is returned to the fuel filter to be reused.

But how does it function, what is it's cycle.? :hyper:
