Fuel Tanks And Fuel Injectors

The fuel system is responsible for supplying fuel to the internal combustion engine. The fuel is mixed with air, and a spark plug ignites the mixture, creating the combustion power that propels the vehicle. The fuel system consists of several different components, including the fuel pump, fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel filters, fuel injectors, and carburetors. As long as any one of these fuel system components fails, the entire fuel transfer process will be affected, and your engine will either stop working at all or work very slowly. This article focuses on fuel tanks and fuel injectors.

Fuel Tanks

What is a fuel tank?

The fuel tank in a vehicle is an important part of the fuel system in an internal combustion

engine. It is a special container for storing hydraulic oil or hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic system, and the fuel tank is used to store automotive fuel, such as gasoline, diesel and gasoline. In order to keep the oil clean, the fuel tank should have a peripherally sealed cover plate with an air filter installed. Today's fuel tanks can be made of different advanced materials, iron alloy, aluminum alloy, plastic.

How to clean a fuel tank?

Your fuel tank should be cleaned when it reaches unacceptable levels of contamination, or every one to two years as a preventative maintenance measure. The following words are fuel tank clean instruction for your reference.

1. Drain all fuel from the tank with an approved container or fuel canister. and lower the tank (see your service manual for further instructions). Then use a brush to clean the place where the pump will be removed.

2. Remove the fuel pump from the fuel tank (avoid debris from falling into the tank).

3. Insert the hose into the fuel tank and start filling with a stream of clean hot water. Spray a mild detergent into the tank as you fill the water. If the opening allows, brush the debris off the sides of the tank and stop the flow. Rinse with water to make sure all debris is captured.

4. Pour the contaminated water into the saucepan, making sure to pick up any liquid. Wipe down the tank further with a lint-free towel. Dry the tank completely with compressed air.

5. Check the tank for rust or physical damage; if present, the tank must be repaired or replaced.

6. Add fuel line antifreeze/water remover to help absorb any remaining moisture. After the sink dries, let it sit for 30 minutes.

Fuel injectors

The fuel injector is a precision device with very high machining accuracy, which requires a large dynamic flow range, strong anti-clogging and anti-pollution capabilities, and good atomization performance. The fuel injector receives the fuel injection pulse signal sent by the ECU to precisely control the fuel injection quantity. The spray characteristics of the injector include atomization particle size, oil mist distribution, oil beam direction, range and diffusion cone angle, etc. These characteristics should meet the requirements of the diesel engine combustion system, so that the formation and combustion of the mixture can be perfected, and higher power and thermal efficiency can be obtained.
