Tank is in the back.
The injector only works properly at elevated fuel pressure otherwise it would just drip out. Like a shower head with no pressure, it would just dribble out.
Valve lets in a mixture of air and fuel, not just fuel, and allows compression to happen.
If that wasn’t the case you’d have to have a mixture injector that closes during compression and explosion. Without it, the explosion would expand in the intake runner instead of pushing down the piston.
- mrfusion 6y agoThanks. So does the injector get fuel on the back of the valve when it sprays?
- culopatin 6y agoUnless it’s direct injection, yes. It sits there for a little bit mixing up with the air. Also the hot valve vaporizes the fuel a bit more. In direct injected engines, the injector shoots on the piston.
