These Are The Different Types Of Fuel Injectors You Need To Know by AutoReportNG: 4:19am On Nov 22, 2018
With the advancement in technology, almost all the vehicles are now come with different types of fuel injection. These types of fuel injection systems are made with different inputs and thus targets different needs of the vehicle.

Choosing the best fuel injector among the various types of fuel injectors, it is important to have a basic knowledge about how a fuel injector works. This would help in understanding the impact that these fuel injectors have on the vehicle and how it can accelerate the vehicle’s performance.

What Is Fuel Injection?

Before jumping on the various types of fuel injection, it is important to understand the basic related to the topic what is fuel injection. Fuel injection can be simply defined as the process to introduce fuel in an internal combustion engine. This is done mostly in the automotive engines and is done using an injector.

You can find different types of fuel injectors according to your vehicle and thus can use the same for injecting fuel in your vehicle.

Different Types Of Fuel Injection

Post highlighting the topic what is fuel injection, next is the need to specify the different types of fuel injection. You should be careful while making the selection as it will impact the performance of your vehicle as well as its maintenance. Here are some of the common types of fuel injection system available in the market.

1. Single-Point Or Throttle Body Injection

This is the simplest and one of the earliest fuel injection systems available in the market. The functioning of this fuel injector is pretty simple and convenient. It adds the right amount of fuel into the air right before it gets distributed to the individual cylinders. Thanks to the high flow rate of this injector, it doesn’t easily clog up.

This type of fuel injector is preferred as it is easy to maintain and is inexpensive. Thus, it can easily be afforded by most of the people and can also be maintained without any struggles. If you ever face any issues with these types of fuel injection system, you just have to replace one injector which can easily be done.

2. Multi-Port Fuel Injection

The other types of fuel injection are that of multi-port fuel injection. As the name suggests, this injection system has different ports for fuel injection. Each and every cylinder in your vehicle gets a separate injection nozzle. The design of the multi-port fuel injection allows the clean air to enter through the main manifold and then is directed towards each of the cylinders.

These types of fuel injection system helps in maintaining the fuel-air ratio in the best possible forms. Also, its design is so precisely made that it gets completely drawn in the cylinder. You can expect higher accuracy with this type of fuel injector.

3. Sequential Fuel Injection

The sequential fuel injection is also known as timed injection and is a multi-port injector. The different injectors available in this type of fuel injection works in groups and thus deliver the fuel at the optimized time. This can be viewed very similar to the multi-port fuel injection; however, it is a whole lot different than that. These types of fuel injection ensure the minimal wastage of fuel and thus increase the efficiency of the vehicle.

One major advantage of the sequential fuel injection is that it is cleaner than the other types of fuel injectors. As the fuel remains for a very short time inside the injector, it remains clean. As a result of the same, they tend to last for a longer time.

4. Direct Injection

Coming to the last option of the different types of fuel injections, let us discuss the direct injection process. This type of fuel injection is based on the simple phenomena of inserting the fuel directly into the cylinders. These are the latest and the trending way of injection which is being used by most of the famous and well-known automobile brand names.

The fuel insertion is really accurate and thus it also helps in reducing the wastage of fuel. Other than this, it requires very minimal maintenance and thus offers the maximum convenience to the users. You can get the desired performance from your vehicle with the use of this fuel injector.

Conclusion

These are the different types of fuel injection that are popular in different vehicles. You need to just choose the right one for you. Get a closer look at your vehicle and its needs and thus you can select the right kind of fuel injection. Fuel injectors play a crucial role in enhancing the performance of your vehicle, thus you should pay attention while making the choice.

Having changed the nozzles and injector system of my 2008 Accord, I think I have a fair understanding of this topic.

And I still haven't sorted out everything.

So then, what do we do with this. you should have drawn a comparative analysis amongst the various types. the merits and demerits of each one.
