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 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. 4. Canister Canister made of high grade Nylon, containing special dust free activated carbon is used to adsorb fuel vapours. The lower end of the canister is open to atmosphere for ventilation. The end is not really open but there is foam filter. The purpose of the bottom filter is to protect the canister from dust and dirt during operation. When the engine is inoperative (i.e. while parked) fuel vapours generated inside the fuel tank due to fuel volatility and temperature variations are passed into canister through tank pressure valve. Activated carbon contained inside the canister adsorbs these vapours. Petrol Engine Ph-2 (CAFÉ)_DCT 93
