Gasoline Direct Fuel Injection Systems
The concept of injecting gasoline directly into an engine’s cylinders was invented by Swedish engineer Jonas Hesselman in 1925. During World War II, Germany began equipping some of its fighter aircraft with direct fuel injection to prevent engine stall-out during high-speed aerial maneuvers. After World War II, domestic and import auto manufacturers discovered that their

Fuel Surcharges: How Much Will Customers Pay?
When the price of fuel rises, the cost of doing business rises too. If customers want a part delivered, no matter how near or far, chances are they’re going to have to pay a fuel surcharge. Just how much are they willing to pay?
Advanced Fuel Delivery Systems
There are many ways to get fuel into a combustion chamber and it seems that today auto manufacturers are using every possible method. As if that were not enough, manufacturers are hedging their sales bets by developing vehicles that use many different types of fuel, and in some cases, vehicles that can burn more than
Tech Forum: Fuel Injection
QUESTION: What happens when fuel injectors get dirty? ANSWER: What will happen is that the engine may experience a variety of driveability and performance problems such as hesitation or stumble when accelerating, loss of power, rough idle, reduced fuel economy and increased emissions. With electronic fuel injection systems, the air/fuel ratio is controlled by the
No Fuel, No Go. It’s That Simple.
Internal combustion engines require a fuel delivery system that can not only supply fuel to the engine but also mix it with just the right amount of air to create an explosive mixture that urns efficiently and cleanly.
Fuel Delivery System — Keeping Injectors Clean
Clean fuel injectors are a must for peak engine performance, fuel economy and emissions. If the injectors are dirty and cant deliver their normal dose of fuel, then performance, fuel economy and emissions all suffer. Dirty injectors cant flow as much fuel as clean ones, nor can they deliver the correct spray pattern that is
