I'm not sure how useful this will be as the majority of the readers on this forum seem to own a turbo version, but I'd thought I'd start the thread anyway as I haven't seen much information on fuel pumps in bits on this forum.

The fuel pump that is the subject of this thread is slightly simpler than the version that is fitted to the turbo OM617s – for more information and pictures see this thread (fuel pump). The pump I have has the following Bosch part number on the front => FP/K22M101.

The mechanical fuel pump on an OM617 is situated on the side of the injector pump.



It is a very simple pump. A plunger shaft, that runs off of a cam inside the injector pump, pushes against a sliding piston and spring inside the fuel pump. This provides the basic pumping effect; whilst the flow of fuel is ensured to flow in one direction by two non-return valves.
