Champion Oil Launches New Diesel Fuel Additives With Cetane
The new products include Power Plus with Cetane and Diesel Flo with Cetane diesel fuel additives.
Not Your Father’s Fuel Pump: Today’s Fuel Pumps Are Different
Understanding fuel pressure and volume is more complicated thanks to fuel injection.
Fuel Pump Diagnostics: Using Scan Tools
With a scan tool, it’s possible to verify if the modules controlling the fuel pump are receiving the correct data like oil pressure, crank position and key Âposition.
Fuel Filters And Frequency Cycles
On most import vehicles, the three components with the highest manufacturing tolerances are ABS brake modulators, direct injection high-pressure fuel pumps and fuel injectors. All of these components are at the mercy of the fluids that circulate inside their respective systems.
Fuel System Diagnostics Is All In The Fuel Trim Numbers
With lean-burn operating strategies being built into many of today’s gasoline direct-injection and gasoline compression ignition engines, it’s important to build a foundational knowledge of how fuel trims work in the real world.
The Next Evolution Of Fuel Injection
You may soon see a vehicle that has both direct fuel injection and port fuel injection. It could be a Toyota, Ford or other make.
Toyota D-4S: Port Fuel Or Direct Fuel Injection? Why Not Both?
You may soon see a Toyota vehicle that has both direct fuel injection and port fuel injection.
Fuel Pump Codes And Control: Keeping Pressure In The Zone
The first electric fuel pump circuits were very simple. The pump circuit usually involved a relay and fuse. The control side to the relay was typically wired to an ignition circuit or key switch. The control of the fuel pressure was performed with an analog regulator that could keep a static pressure and adjust for loads with a vacuum signal.
Fuel Trims!
Understanding fuel trims is the gateway to diagnosing common emissions problems. However, before we begin to use this information, specific criteria must be met in order for the PCM to gather accurate information.
Fuel Tank R&R: Avoiding The Dreaded Second Drop
Nothing is worse that a comeback after a fuel tank has been dropped. Here are some tips that can help you avoid comebacks and dropping the tank for a second time.
