A ferrule (a corruption of Latin viriola "small bracelet," under the influence of ferrum "iron.") is a name for types of metal objects.
Most consist of a circular clamp used to hold together and attach fibers, wires or posts.
Examples of such ferrules:
In a brush the ferrule binds the bristles or hair to the handle.
The metal ring which is crimped to hold the eraser in place on pencils with an attached eraser.
The metal ring which holds a chisel blade's tang to the handle.
The metal cap put on the end of a bicycle's cable housing.
In fiber optic terminations, glass or plastic fibers are bonded to precision ferrules and polished for spliting or connecting two fibers together.
In restorative dentistry: margin of a cast crown that stabilizes root-canal treated teeth
In golf:plastic sleeve that adorns the bottom of most steel and graphite shafts just above the club head hosel. Originally designed to protect the shaft from damaging vibrations, it is now used mainly for aesthetic purposes.
Compression fittings for attaching tubing (piping) commonly have ferrules in them.

: Can you see the SPELLING DIFFERENCE between "ferrula" and "ferula"? They are 2 different words and translate in two different ways. That is my point. I am not contesting your "ferrule" for "ferrula" I'm saying that Marie asked for "ferula".

I beg your pardon. I understood from your initial reply that rod was a ferrule therefore my disagree was unnecessary

rod
My dictionary says it's an instrument used for corporal punishment (!), so it may have been improperly used here ...
Note from asker:
| From the diagram it looks like the injector pump is installed into the tank through a hole, then closed with the washer, the "ferula" (which should also be a sort of ring, maybe a gasket), then the nut. Unfortunately the diagram is a section, so I can't tell if the ferula is a ring like the washer, or a little rod. |

: rod. But I can confirm that, in the Thirties, when my dad was at a school in Scotland, run by Jesuits, the instrument used for corporal punishment was known as the "ferula"!

: In this case a ferrule is a metallic ring used on compression fittings not a rod. This was a mis-spelling in the italian text, as you have made clear.

Oh dear - I'm just not getting my point across. A "ferrula" is always a "ferrule" and a "ferula" is always a "rod". Are we on the same wavelength now?
