Question 176Motor Plants - QMED
70% to passThe illustrated device is operated directly by_______________. Illustration MO-0041

Aa rocker arm and push rod
Bfuel oil pressure
Ccam action
Dexcessively high combustion pressure
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) fuel oil pressure. The illustrated device is likely a fuel injector, which is operated directly by the fuel oil pressure in the fuel system. The fuel oil pressure is what forces the fuel through the injector nozzle and into the engine cylinder, allowing the engine to function. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) a rocker arm and push rod are not involved in the direct operation of a fuel injector, C) cam action is not the primary driver of a fuel injector, and D) excessively high combustion pressure would not be the direct operating mechanism for a fuel injector.
