Flex Fuel: Ethanol vs. Gasoline

For political and economic reasons, the use of ethanol gasoline in the U.S. has always been controversial. To better explain, the U.S. and Brazil are the world’s leading producers of ethanol-blended gasolines. In Brazil, ethanol is an economic issue because the country’s hot equatorial climate is very hospitable to the rapid growth of biomass, which is cheap organic waste that can be made to produce ethanol.

Water Instead Of Gasoline: Bosch Water Injection Innovation Can Reduce Fuel Consumption By Up To 13 Percent

Did you know that even advanced gasoline engines waste roughly a fifth of their fuel? Especially at high-engine speeds, some of the gasoline is used for cooling instead of for propulsion. While Bosch didn’t create an engine that gets its energy from water, it has introduced water injection as a new way to cool the

Why Direct Injection Engines Develop Carbon Deposits

Direct injection in its current form has been around since 1997. During the next 10 years, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes Benz and many others introduced engines with direct injection. Today, almost all new engines have direct injection. When the early direct-injection engines hit the three-year or 30,000-mile mark, some developed driveablity problems due to carbon build-up

Diagnostic Solutions: Direct Fuel Injection Systems

For veteran technicians, it’s no wonder that the internal combustion engine (ICE) has been pronounced “dead” on more than one occasion. After having gone through the gas turbine craze during the early 1960s and the rotary engine fad of the 1970s, it comes as no surprise that we’re witnessing still another resurrection of the reciprocating internal combustion engine in the form of gasoline direct fuel injection.

Directions: Turbocharging’s Not Just A Lot of Hot Air

In a recent study of U.S. consumers by Honeywell, more than half of those who plan to purchase a vehicle in the next two years believe fuel efficiency is more important than it was during their last vehicle purchase.

Is There Enough Pressure? Fuel Injection Diagnosis & Service

One of the first questions that should always be asked — and answered — when diagnosing a fuel-related complaint on a fuel injected engine is, “What is the fuel pressure?” All too often, technicians assume fuel pressure is “good” without actually measuring it with a gauge. If the engine runs, they assume the injectors are
