    摘要: A method for dewatering an operating substance, more particularly a fuel, preferably during the operation of a vehicle, more particularly a rail vehicle, includes conveying an operating substance from an operating substance tank. Water present on or in the fuel is first collected in a water container, and water is conveyed, in chronological order, from the water container back to the operating substance tank, then to an exhaust system and/or from the operating substance tank to the exhaust gas system. A dewatering device for an operating substance, more particularly a fuel for a vehicle, more particularly a rail vehicle, includes a water container, in which water present on or in the fuel is collected. The dewatering device has a dewatering conduit or line which runs from the water container to an operating-substance tank of the vehicle and/or to an exhaust-gas system of the vehicle.

    摘要: A common rail system for a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine, the common rail system comprising: a high pressure pump for receiving fuel from a fuel tank; at least one fuel injector for delivering fuel to the internal combustion engine; a common rail for receiving fuel from the high pressure pump through a flow path of the common rail system that connects the high pressure pump to the common rail, the common rail comprising a fuel reservoir in fluid communication with a common rail inlet and in fluid communication with the one or more fuel injectors; and a filter provided in the flow path. The filter is configured to filter fuel so as to prevent particulate matter from entering the common rail. The common rail system comprises only one filter.
