The silver one.
Scrap pump so i thought i would strip it for a look see, very interesting if you like that sort of thing.

Works on a wobble plate, plate rotates causing the pistons to rise and fall, very fine engineering, you can see the wobble plate in the bottom pic

From a truck same capacity system gas wise as a car.

If you look closely you can see the bent conrod and piston stuck in the bore.

Work mate was servicing a friends daewoo matiz 800cc and it had the same pump just a bit smaller:D

Karcher high pressure washer pumps operate on the same principle.

What a strange looking device, very interesting though, thanks!
