After studying Chapter 16, readers should be able to prepare for an ASE certification test on fuel, air, and exhaust systems. The chapter describes the purpose and components of the fuel delivery system, including the fuel tank, lines, filters, and electric fuel pump. It also provides instructions for testing the fuel pump pressure, volume, and for diagnosing leaks in the system.
High-Pressure Common-Rail Fuel Injection System with Electronic Control Syste...IJRESJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: High-Pressure Common-Rail Fuel Injection System is the most common technique of fuel injection used in diesel engine of automobiles. High-Pressure Common-Rail Fuel Injection System refers to a new method of fuel supply which can entirely separate the process of generation of inject pressure and the process of fuel inject under the control of a close-loop system which contains high-pressure oil pump, pressure sensor and electronic control unit. During the working process of diesel engine, the time of injection is extremely short which costs only a few milliseconds due to the high rate of rotation of the engine, meanwhile, in the process of injection, the pressure of every point of the high-pressure oil pipe is fluctuated with the change of position and time. Besides, because of the compressibility of diesel itself, the real situation of fuel injection is quite different from the regularity of fuel supply of the ram pump controlled by high-pressure fuel pump. What’s more, the fluctuation of pressure in high-pressure oil pipe may also cause secondary injection which will sharply reduce the performance of emission and economy. If the unusual injection is severe, it may not only cause the non-uniform of fuel injection but also lead to a phenomenon of intermittent inject failure. The engine equipped with common-rail technique can effectively solve these defects that traditional engine may have
Diesel Injectors are one of the changing parameters in engine design. Piezoelectric Diesel Injectors are one of the changing designs adopted in engine systems especially CRDi engines. It enables better fuel economy and emission control. This paper provides with an overview, design and constructional features, working and applications of piezoelectric diesel Injectors.
The common rail fuel injection system is finding increasing use engines as it has the potential to drastically cut emissions and fuel consumption. This system provides control of many important parameters linked to the injection system. It has a wide range of applications, From small to heavy-duty engines.

This presentation provides an overview of the fuel systems in Spark Ignition (SI) Internal Combustion Engines, browsing its technological evolution along the years. Spark Ignition engines are the one that need an artificial spark (provided by spark plugs) to ignite (inflame) the air-fuel mixture, such as the ones based on gasoline, alcohol or Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Diesel engines belong to another class of engines, called "Compression Ignition" (CI) engines.

The aim is to design and to develop an air brake system based on exhaust gas is called “fabrication of air brake system using engine exhaust gas”. The main aim of this project is to reduce the workloads of the engine drive to operate the air compressor, because here the compressor is not operated by the engine drive.
Here we are placing a turbine in the path of exhaust from the engine. The turbine e is connected to a dynamo by means of coupling, which is used to generate power. Depending upon the airflow the turbine will start rotating, and then the dynamo will also starts to rotate. A dynamo is a device which is used to convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy. The generated power can be stored in the battery and then this electric power has loaded to the D.C compressor. The air compressor compresses the atmospheric air and it stored in the air tank and the air tank has pressure relief valve to control the pressure in the tank . The air tank supplies the compressed pneumatic power to the pneumatic actuator through solenoid valve to apply brake. The pneumatic actuator is a double acting cylinder which converts hydraulic energy into linear moti on.

82. Figure 16-26 Most OBD-I General Motors fuel-injected vehicles are equipped with a fuel-pump test connector. The operation of the fuel pump can be checked by connecting a 12-volt test light to the positive (1) terminal of the battery and the point of the test light to the test connector. Turn the ignition to on (engine off). The light should either go out or come on for 2 seconds. This is a simple test to see if the computer can control the fuel-pump relay.
83. Figure 16-27 If the vacuum hose is removed from the fuel-pressure regulator when the engine is running, the fuel pressure should increase. If it does not increase, then the fuel pump is not capable of supplying adequate pressure or the fuel-pressure regulator is defective. If gasoline is visible in the vacuum hose, the regulator is leaking and should be replaced.

108. Figure 16-39 A typical evaporative emission control system. Note that when the computer turns on the canister purge solenoid valve, manifold vacuum draws any stored vapors from the canister into the engine. Manifold vacuum also is applied to the pressure control valve and when this valve opens, fumes from the fuel tank are drawn into the charcoal canister and eventually into the engine. When the solenoid valve is turned off (or the engine stops and there is no manifold vacuum), the pressure control valve is spring loaded shut to keep vapors inside the fuel tank from escaping to the atmosphere.
