Fuel is delivered by a transfer pump (vane type pump) incorporated into the high-pressure pump; the transfer pump is driven by the drive shaft.

From the transfer pump, the fuel is sent via a feed bore to the high-pressure chamber.

In the feed bore, between the transfer pump and the high-pressure chamber, is the fuel metering valve. The fuel metering valve is actuated electromagnetically by the IDM and thereby regulates the cross-section of the feed bore and thus the quantity of fuel destined for the high-pressure chamber.
