This particular paper throws light on the fuel injection pumps and nozzles in a diesel locomotive. This study enlightens various parts, functions, assembling, disassembling testing working of nozzles and pumps.
This project wouldn’t have been successful if we haven’t received help from the members of the Diesel Loco Shed Visakhapatnam, Andhrapradesh, India. We thank each and every member of it for making our mission successful.
We are grateful to Sri S.R. Sethi, Sr. Divisional Mechanical Engr., Sri G. Shankar Reddy- Asst Divisional Mechanical Engr., Mr. T.R.S. Babu Junior Engineer Cum Our Project Guide And All Staff Members Of Diesel Loco Shed (VSKP) for giving us the opportunity to educate ourselves on diesel locomotives.
