Benzinsysteme

Benzinsysteme, also known as gasoline fuel systems, are the components responsible for delivering fuel from the storage tank to the engine's combustion chambers. These systems are crucial for the operation of spark-ignition internal combustion engines. A typical gasoline fuel system includes a fuel tank, a fuel pump, fuel lines, a fuel filter, and a fuel injection system or a carburetor. The fuel pump, usually electric, draws gasoline from the tank and pressurizes it, pushing it through the fuel lines. A fuel filter is essential to remove any contaminants that could damage the fuel injectors or carburetor.

In older vehicles, carburetors were common. They atomize the fuel and mix it with air in the correct ratio before it enters the intake manifold. Modern vehicles predominantly use fuel injection systems. These systems inject fuel directly into the intake manifold (port injection) or directly into the combustion chamber (direct injection) under precise electronic control. This allows for better fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and improved engine performance. Sensors monitor various engine parameters, and a control unit (ECU) adjusts the fuel delivery accordingly, ensuring optimal combustion under all operating conditions. The entire system is designed to provide a consistent and metered supply of fuel for efficient and reliable engine operation.
