Automakers have long touted the benefits of fuel injection, claiming increased efficiency and power. But as more cars have the system installed (around 73% in 2023), more and more consumers are ...
Having fuel injectors on all mass-produced vehicles is one of the biggest automotive breakthroughs of the past few decades. If you've ever gone through having to start an engine with a poorly tuned ...
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 ...
While port injection is still the most common form of electronic fuel injection, gasoline direct injection is quickly starting to replace it since it provides better fuel atomization, decreased ...
Sandia National Laboratories researchers (left to right: Nathan Harry, Christopher Nilsen, Drummond Biles, and Charles Mueller) show off their prototype of ducted fuel injection module for diesel ...
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 ...
However, not all innovations are equal, and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...
Suppliers of diesel fuel injectors are fighting a technology battle to win new business as tougher European Union emissions rules take effect before the end of the decade. German suppliers Robert ...
Here are six modern engines with stronger reliability records than many drivers expect, backed by model-level data and ...
With direct injection, engines can run with higher compression ratios, higher boost, and higher efficiencies. The marvel has lead to widespread downsizing of engines, ditching large naturally ...
