Fuel injection is a system for introducing fuel into internal combustion engines, and into automotive engines, in particular. On diesel engines, fuel injection is a necessity, whilst on petrol engines fuel injection is an alternative to the carburetor. On petrol engines, fuel injection became more common from the 1980s onwards. The primary difference between carburetors and fuel injection is that fuel injection atomizes the fuel through a small nozzle under high pressure, while a carburetor relies on suction created by intake air accelerated through a Venturi tube to draw the fuel into the airstream. ==Objectives== The functional objectives for fuel injection systems can vary. All share the central task of supplying fuel to the combustion process, but it is a design decision how a particular system is optimized. There are several competing objectives such as: *Power output *Fuel efficiency *Emissions performance *Ability to accommodate alternative fuels *Reliability *Driveability and smooth operation *Initial cost *Maintenance cost *Diagnostic capability *Range of environmental operation *Engine tuning The modern digital electronic fuel injection system is more capable at optimizing these competing objectives consistently than earlier fuel delivery systems (such as carburetors). Carburetors have the potential to atomize fuel better (see Pogue and Allen Caggiano patents). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fuel injection」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
