Fuel Systems

The fuel system is responsible for feeding your engine the gasoline or diesel it needs to be able to work. If whichever of the individual components in the fuel system break down, your engine will not function correctly. There are the main components of the fuel system listed below:

Fuel Tank: The fuel tank holds the fuel. The fuel from the gas station pump, moves from the tank travels down the gas hose into your tank. Inside the tank there is a sending unit. This is what tells the gas gauge how much gas is inside the tank.

Fuel Pump: In newer cars, most contain fuel pumps usually positioned inside the fuel tank. A lot of the older automobiles will attach the fuel pump to the engine or placed on the frame next to the engine and tank. If the pump is on the frame rail or in the tank, then it is electric and works with electricity from your cars' battery, while fuel pumps which are mounted to the engine utilize the motion of the engine in order to pump the fuel.

Fuel Filter: Clean fuel is essential for engine performance and overall engine life. Fuel injectors have small openings that can clog without difficulty. Filtering the fuel is the only way this can be avoided. Filters can be found either after or before the fuel pump and in various instances both places.

Fuel Injectors: Nearly all domestic cars after the year 1986, along with earlier foreign cars came from the factory with fuel injection. Instead of a carburetor to do the job of mixing the fuel and the air, a computer controls when the fuel injectors open to be able to let fuel into the engine. This has resulted in lower emission overall and better fuel economy. The fuel injector is essentially a tiny electric valve which opens and closes with an electric signal. By injecting the fuel close to the cylinder head, the fuel stays atomized, or within small particles, and could burn better when ignited by the spark plug.

Carburetors: Carburetors have the task of taking the fuel and mixing it with the air without whatever involvement from a computer. Carburetors need repeated tuning and rebuilding even though they are simple to work. This is among the main reasons the newer vehicles presented on the market have done away with carburetors in favor of fuel injection.

Alternators

An alternator is a machine which converts mechanical energy into electric energy. It does this in the form of an electrical current. In essence, an AC electrical generator can be labeled an alternator. The word usually refers to a rotating, small device driven by automotive and various internal combustion engines. Alternators which are placed in power stations and are driven...

Carriage Rollers

Carriage rollers are specially designed bearings that are utilized on lift masts to be able to help them perform within tough environmental conditions. Lift masts are normally subjected to shocks, oscillations, high dynamic and vibrations and static loads. This equipment is often exposed to environmental influences like for example cold, heat, dust, moisture, contamination and aggressive ambient air. Therefore, the...

Control Valves

Automatic control systems were primarily developed more than two thousand years ago. The ancient water clock of Ktesibios in Alexandria Egypt dating to the 3rd century B.C. is considered to be the first feedback control device on record. This clock kept time by means of regulating the water level inside a vessel and the water flow from the vessel. A...

Differentials

A mechanical device which can transmit torque and rotation via three shafts is known as a differential. Every now and then but not at all times the differential will utilize gears and would function in two ways: in automobiles, it provides two outputs and receives one input. The other way a differential operates is to put together two inputs to...

Drive Axles

The piece of equipment that is elastically fastened to the framework of the vehicle utilizing a lift mast is called the forklift drive axle. The lift mast attaches to the drive axle and can be inclined, by at least one tilting cylinder, round the axial centerline of the drive axle. Frontward bearing components combined with rear bearing parts of a...
