Will fuel injection systems work in newer designs of engines?
Home » Automobiles » Fuel Injection » Will fuel injection systems work in newer designs of engines?Though fuel injection systems were developed for gasoline-operated internal combustion engines, the technology is being modified for use with other types of alternative fuels. Some of these alternative fuels include propane, ethanol, methane and hydrogen. Especially in the Midwestern part of the United States, flexible fuel cars and trucks are being marketed. In such vehicles, two fuels are blended together in one gas tank. It is usually gasoline and ethanol. The calculations of how much fuel the injector needs to supply to the engine must be determined according to the blend of fuels in the tank. Slightly different is the bi-fuel tank, where there are two fuels housed in separate tanks. They are not used simultaneously, but rather one is used up and then the other is used. This requires a different fuel injector system according to which fuel is being burned.
