About Automotive Fuel Injection Parts

Automotive Fuel Injection System is a system used to mix fuel with air in an internal combustion engine. Now the fuel injection system has become the primary system used in automotive engines, having almost completely replaced carburetors.
A fuel injection system is designed according to fuel it will handle: gasoline (petrol), Autogas (LPG, also known as propane), ethanol, methanol, methane (natural gas), hydrogen or diesel. The majority of fuel injection systems are for gasoline or diesel applications.

Difference between Carburetors and Fuel Injection

The main difference between carburetors and fuel injection is that fuel injection atomizes the fuel by forcibly pumping it through a small nozzle under high pressure, on the other hand, a carburetor relies on low pressure created by intake air rushing through it to add the fuel to the airstream.

Benefits of Fuel Injection System
  • Easy Engine starting.
  • Increased fuel efficiency.
  • Increased maintenance intervals.
  • Better operation at extremely high or low ambient temperatures.
  • The driver of a fuel-injected car include smoother and more dependable engine response during quick throttle transitions.
  • Fuel injection does away with the choke which on carburetor-equipped vehicles must be operated when starting the engine from cold and then adjusted as the engine warms up.
