We often talk about the benefits of fuel injection on off-road vehicles. Generally, these systems run more reliably than carbureted systems, but they are, at the end of the day, a bit more complex ...
The first thing you should understand is that direct-port, constant-flow fuel-injection—Hilborns, En-derles, Crowers, whatever—were never designed, nor intended, to be run on the street. All of these ...
GM's new Silverado and Sierra V8s gain a second fuel injection system for more power and efficiency, but GM hasn't released ...
High-pressure common rail fuel (HPCR) systems are standard on nearly every diesel engine today, from heavy equipment to over-the-road trucks, light-duty trucks, large generators and more. HPCR fuel ...
Remember when you use to drive an old Camaro, Nova, or Camaro to work every day? You'd fight with the choke on a cold morning in an effort to keep the darned thing running until the intake manifold ...
Fuel delivery depends on more than what happens at the injector. For fleet, maintenance and technical professionals, looking at the full path from pump to injector can provide useful context ...
Fuel system components, particularly servos and injectors, are prone to various failures including internal malfunctions, physical damage during maintenance, and spontaneous part failure.
The fuel system assembly begins with mounting brackets, fuel lines, and fuel separator cleaning. Proper sealing and careful ...
Fuel injectors don't just deliver fuel. They meter it, shaping the spray so the air-fuel mixture burns in the way the engine wants it to. When deposits build up, injector fuel flow can decrease and ...
What is gasoline direct injection and how is it different from traditional methods of getting fuel into your car's engine? You may have read or heard one of your favorite Car Tech editors talking ...
"Common rail." It is a term that at this point is universally known across the entire diesel space. However, for uninitiated or new enthusiasts, the term refers to the manner in which late-model/newer ...
The clearances inside diesel injection system parts are closer than those found in any other technology. The plungers and needle valves in injectors need to fit tightly to ensure precise metering and ...
