So there is NO moving part in an IP that is lubricated with JUST fuel? engine oil lubricates everything? Cant't see how that could be...I'm probably wrong, but would like a little more info/ confirmation.
The parts of the pump that come in contact with the fuel are lubricated by the sulphur in the fuel. There is no mixing (or rather shouldn't be any mixing) of motor oil with fuel. Most of the IP is lubed by motor oil. Viewing a cut-away of an IP may help you comprehend the above statement.
