Bosch PESK6KL 70/120 R11
Fuel Injection Pump
A MOVE TOWARD MODERNITY
Model: W113 230SL
The PES6KL 70/120 R11 marked a big step forward in fuel injection pump design and operation featuring the complete removal of the separate corrector assembly and fuel feed pump, a start solenoid, and a 3D space cam for more accurate fuel mapping. Though advancements continued to be made, most fuel injection pumps would follow the R11 in general layout until continuous fuel injection (Bosch CIS) took over in the mid 70s.
The R11 can be found in the W113 230SL and was replaced fairly quickly in the following years with the R18's and eventually the R20's.
Major differences include a smaller viewing port, operational inlets and outlets on the rear-side, a starting solenoid (stopping solenoid would be added in later models), and the lack of ribs on the backside which would be added later to save on weight and assist with cooling. You can also see remnants from the pneumatic governor pumps such as the large triangular shape on the lower front right where the fuel feed pump would have attached on pumps like the R9/22 and R8.

Vintage Documents
The Right SPECS Straight from the source
Fuel injection pumps have long been misunderstood and largely ignored when it comes to the rebuilding and restoration process. To become the only Bosch authorized service facility that offers restoration on all gasoline fuel injection pumps for Mercedes-Benz models we had to find a better way.
Through a meticulous process over 20 years of trial and error, information from contacts within the industry and original documentation from industry sources around the world, such as the R11 instruction manuals seen here, we are constantly improving our fuel injection pump restoration process and have amassed one of the most complete collections of parts and knowledge when it comes to Bosch gasoline fuel injection pumps.
