The second system to look at now is the fuel system. We had a group discussion about the major components of the fuel system found in a car and stated each of its function.
Major components:
Tank/Cell - storage of fuel
Pumps - generates pressure to keep the fuel moving
Filter - removes unwanted sediments from the fuel
Regulator - maintains pressure to remain constant
Injectors - atomises fuel and supply it to the combustion chamber
Baffle plates - restricts fuel flow from sloshing in the tank
and etc.
Associated system: ECU, temperature sensor, fuel sender unit, fuel gauge, etc.
It is important to know topics that are related to the mechanics of the fuel system. Such as:
Related topics:
Pressure, Thermodynamics, Hydraulics, Energy Conversion, etc.
Down below, you can see the schematic drawing and some of the major components found in a fuel system of a car.
