AFT’s New Common Rail/Hydraulic Pump Installed on a MAXX Force DT Engine.

Project 2-Development of an Ultra-High Pressure Jet Propellant-8 (JP-8) Fuel
Injection System for the Navistar MAXX Force DT Engine.

The second Army program began in 2010 with a Phase 1 project to demonstrate an
intensified fuel injector that can achieve 40,000 psi injection pressure using JP-8 fuel. We
were able to successfully reach the goal on a single cylinder bench and were subsequently
awarded a Phase 1 Option and then a full Phase 2 program. The total value of these
projects is $846,000.
Our Phase 2 program is based on using an advanced (new) version of our DME fuel
pump, a unique new common rail and a modified Navistar hydraulically intensified
injector.
