What are the benefits of using the Simms fuel injection pump?

Using supply chamber pressure to deliver fuel increases fuel efficiency and enables quicker starts, even in cold weather. Varying the amount of fuel delivered according to vehicle speed is important because a diesel engine does not have an air intake throttle, so it revs according to the amount of fuel received.

The Simms fuel injector governor prevents this by cutting off the fuel supply when over-cranking occurs.
