Who decided to add an F to the accepted 'IP' abbreviation for an injection pump?

VOR is standard dealer speak
Has been for over 30 years now.....used to be a type of order reserved for emergency service vehicles only, as the dealer would have to pay a higher price for the part and/or a carriage charge to get it next day.

We normally get 10% trade discount on parts called a stock order which can be 2 or 3 days but if you order it VOR it's next or same day but 5% or sometimes retail price!

It's always been FIP as far as I'm concerned, it is a Fuel Injection Pump after all.

Yep, at the Honda Garage where I installed software, normal parts delivery was 3 or more days, VOR was next day but at a price I seem to remember

In all the technical workshop manuals I have read - usually relating to fuelling systems, dating back to 40's Petter and Lister engines, LR service manuals from Series through to TD5's and German marques I never seen it abbreviated to FIP, it is a FUEL IP indeed but realistically what the hell else is going to be injected?

Well it's probably all sorted and everyone that went out of their way to help get his car back on the road has served a purpose and that's that!
That's today's society!
