Introduction
Most modern vehicles are fitted with fuel injection systems that allow the engine to work more efficiently and usually result in greater power and cleaner exhaust emissions. These systems work by forcing pressurised fuel through a tiny nozzle that atomises the fuel, allowing it to burn more quickly when mixed with air. This website will introduce learners to petrol injection systems and in particular give them an appreciation of the basic principles of operation of the fuel injector itself.
Learners will study a variety of fuel injection systems in order to appreciate their function, their operation and the differences between systems. The unit will enable learners to understand the air and fuel supply systems and the operation of the engine control systems and components. Learners will also gain an understanding of the equipment and methods used to test, maintain and repair petrol fuel injection systems.
