Polttoainevirtaus
Polttoainevirtaus refers to the movement of fuel from the storage tank to the engine in a vehicle or other combustion-powered machinery. This process is critical for the efficient operation of internal combustion engines. The fuel is typically drawn from the tank by a fuel pump, which then pressurizes it. This pressurized fuel is then delivered through fuel lines, often passing through a fuel filter to remove any impurities that could damage engine components or affect performance. The exact path and components involved can vary depending on the type of engine (e.g., gasoline, diesel) and the fuel delivery system (e.g., carburetor, fuel injection). In modern vehicles, fuel injection systems precisely control the amount of fuel delivered to the engine cylinders, optimizing fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. The flow rate and pressure of the fuel are carefully regulated to ensure the engine receives the correct mixture of fuel and air for combustion. Any disruptions or issues within the polttoainevirtaus system, such as a clogged fuel filter, a faulty fuel pump, or leaks in the fuel lines, can lead to engine performance problems, stalling, or complete failure to start.
