20523255 Volvo FH16 D16E Overflow Valve

What does an overflow valve do?

This injector pump overflow valve plays a critical role in maintaining the internal pressure balance of the fuel injection pump. By redirecting excess fuel back to the return line, it prevents pressure spikes and ensures that the engine receives a consistent, regulated flow. This component is manufactured using high-strength components to withstand the rigorous demands of heavy-duty diesel engines.

Vehicle and engine compatibility
