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 Continental continuous-flow fuel injection system for 360 engines, while appearing complex, operates on simple principles with four key components: an engine-driven fuel pump, a throttle body ...

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 ...

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 ...

Fuel system components, including servos and injectors, are prone to diverse failures such as internal malfunctions, manufacturing defects (e.g., sheared nozzles, popped plugs), and foreign object ...

Port fuel injection (PFI) was a major milestone in the early '80s. The integration of PFI rapidly changed the way fuel was delivered by increasing fuel economy and improving engine performance. Even ...

It's a trend we are seeing a lot more of: Even the most dyed-in-the-wool carburetor guys are ditching their mechanical mixers for electronic fuel injection. One recent convert explained his motivation ...

Electronic fuel injection revolutionized the auto industry in the 1980s. It came to replace the carburetor in the task of sending fuel to the engine's cylinders but it does much more: it controls ...

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 ...
