Parts for Bosch VE Rotary Injector Pumps

The Bosch VE pump is now more than 50 years old. This is one invention that I have a tremendous amount of respect for. It is a fully mechanical device to control both the quantity and timing of diesel fuel into the engine. There was a built in governor and springs for a smooth idle. There was also a timing advance function linked to engine speed. This was an awesome device in its day. It was manufactured and installed into engines for more than 40 years. It was so good that it was licensed by the Japanese company Denso for production in Japan. So it was manufactured on at least two continents and installed in many, many different engines built in the USA, Europe and Asia. When the need for more precise injection control came along, the Bosch VE pump was converted to and electronic throttle and a timing solenoid was added.

As the need for higher and higher pressures came into being, the Bosch VE pump was phased out and replaced by the current technology of common rail diesel injection. I miss the days when all you needed was 12v to turn the pump on and off and a throttle cable to control the throtle. There were no electronics needed. Some of the pumps could run without the start/stop solenoid and were turned off with a kill switch.

If you need parts for your old Bosch VE pump, I have you covered.
