Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.02 sec. |
fuel injectionInjecting fuel directly into the cylinders of an internal combustion engine, instead of by way of a carburettor. It is the standard method used in diesel engines, and is now becoming standard for petrol engines. In the diesel engine, oil is injected into the hot compressed air at the top of the second piston stroke and explodes to drive the piston down on its power stroke. In the petrol engine, fuel is injected into the cylinder at the start of the first induction stroke of the four-stroke cycle. |

In these engines, everything is thought about in function of an electronic fuel-injection system controlled at very high pressures, but not everyone is willing to pay for that new technology," says Guilherme Ebeling, MWM's head development and testing engineer. Weatherly Aircraft Company (OTC:WACF), the manufacturer of leading cost efficient, safe and reliable aerial application aircraft since 1961 for agricultural spraying and fire fighting applications, announced a new electronic fuel-injection option for its radial engine aircraft, significantly increasing fuel efficiency and lowering the total cost of operation over the life of the engine. |
