Delphi pump valve (TVS) Delphi DP, aftermarket

Delphi pump valve (TVS) is an aftermarket part for the diesel engines with Delphi DP210, DP310 and DP200 pumps. The product card gives this valve only under the code «DELFI-TVS», with no separate part number.

This valve controls the direction of flow or the pressure in the fuel system. A check (non-return) valve lets fuel flow only one way and stops it draining back to the tank when the engine stops, so the system stays full and starting is easier. An overflow (bypass) valve holds the pressure in the pump or filter housing at a set value and sends surplus fuel to the return line, also helping to purge air. A weakened valve spring or dirt on the seat causes the system to drain down, hard starting or low supply pressure. Marking the lines on both sides of the valve before removal removes the risk of fitting the new valve the wrong way round. Always bleed the system after fitting.
