Does fuel injection really work?

To put things bluntly; yes, fuel injector cleaner does work, but only if you’re using it correctly. As explained earlier, it is able to remove carbon and other deposits in fuel lines, but in Techron it is added in low quantities, meaning it can take up to 5 full tanks of fuel before deposits are removed.

What is the job of the fuel injector?

The function of a fuel injector is to spray atomized fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. Fuel injection became the primary fuel delivery system in automobiles starting in the mid-1980s.

How does an electronic fuel injection system work?

In a mechanical system, the injector is spring-loaded into the closed position and is opened by fuel pressure. The injector in an electronic system is also held closed by a spring, but is opened by an electromagnet built into the injector body. The electronic control unit determines how long the injector stays open.

How does the Lucas mechanical fuel injection system work?

Lucas mechanical fuel injection system In the Lucas system, fuel from the tank is pumped at high pressure to a fuel accumulator. From there it passes into the fuel distributor, which sends a burst of fuel to each injector, from where it is fired into the inlet port.

Where are the injectors in a fuel injection system?

The injectors are mounted in the intake manifold so that they spray fuel directly at the intake valves. A pipe called the fuel rail supplies pressurized fuel to all of the injectors. In this picture, you can see three of the injectors.

How does a multi port fuel injection system work?

There are two main types of control for multi-port systems: The fuel injectors can all open at the same time, or each one can open just before the intake valve for its cylinder opens (this is called sequential multi-port fuel injection ).

How does the fuel injection system work in a car?

The injectors through which the fuel is sprayed are screwed, nozzle-first, into either the inlet manifold or the cylinder head and are angled so that the spray of fuel is fired towards the inlet valve. The injectors are one of two types, depending on the injection system.

How does electronic fuel injection ( EFI ) work?

Electronic fuel injection (EFI) Electronic fuel injection allows for extremely precise control over how much fuel is sprayed into the cylinders. It follows a fairly straightforward process to do so: The fuel exits the fuel tank via the fuel pump. It travels through fuel lines towards the engine.
