FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
1. Injector
The injector used in this engine is a piezo injector.
This is controlled by the EMS ECU. The timing of
injection and quantity is controlled by the EMS
ECU. It operates at a pressure of 4 bar. It makes
multiple injections.
The piezo actuator is an electrically energized
device that acts similar to a solenoid but is much
more precise. A piezo actuator is a composition of
piezo discs, that when electrically energized,
cause the discs to deform resulting in an
expansion. This expansion results in a
longitudinal motion thus controlling the injector.
When energized, the piezo actuator pushes
downward against the valve piston. The piezo
actuator is returned to its non-energized state via
the ECU switching the polarity of the electrical
feed to the injector.
2. Fuel Rail
It is a fuel reservoir where the fuel is maintained
at a pressure of about 4 bar. The fuel is pumped
into it from the pump and gets delivered to the
injectors through the lines.
3. Fuel Filter
The Fuel Filter is a part of the filtration system.
The fuel filter is located under the body near the
fuel tank along the pipe carrying the fuel to fuel
rail, It is made up of an outer case and an integral
mount that holds a filter element with high filtering
capacity. It filters the fuel being deliver under
pressure by the fuel pump. This is essential for
ensuring fuel injection operation since the injector
is extremely sensitive to foreign particles in the
supply circuit. Since it cannot be disassembled, it
must be replaced as an assembly at the
recommended intervals.
4. Fuel Tank and Fuel Tank Unit
The Fuel tank assembly consists of the fuel tank
and the Intank pump. The fuel tank is used to
store the fuel. The Intank pump consists of float
and a sensor. Fuel level sensor assembly
provides the signal to indicate the fuel level in the
tank. As the float arm assembly moves with
respect to the fuel level in tank, resistance at
sensor varies accordingly.
