The fuel system is designed to mix air and fuel in the engine
for combustion. Thi air and fuel mixing should produce
an efficient combustion process. If the fuel system is
not operating correctly, the engine will run very rough, lack
power, or perhaps not run at all. In today·s engines, many of
the components found in the fuel system are computer controlled.
Familiar components in the fuel system include:
..... Fuel
..... Fuel tank
..... Fuel lines
..... Fuel pump
..... Fuel filter
..... Fuel injectors or carburetor
..... PCM or electronic controller
A vehicle’s fuel system comprises components
that deliver fuel from the tank to the engine,
including a fuel pump, fuel lines, a fuel-pressure
regulator, fuel filter and fuel injectors.
