WELCOME TO ALL Fuel feed system in petrol enigine Presentation by G. JAGADEESKUMAR JTO/MMV GOVT ITI DHARMAPURI
The main purpose of the fuel feed system is to control the fuel supply to the engine. To supply the fuel from the fuel tank to the engine cylinders . FUEL FEED SYSTEM IN ENGINE
Gravity fuel Feed system AIR Pressurized fuel Feed system Vacuum fuel Feed system Pump fuel Feed system Fuel injection fuel Feed system TYPES OF FUEL FEED SYSTEM IN PETROL ENGINE
The ‘gravity system’ is confined to smaller vehicles such as entry-level two-wheelers, bikes, and quads only. In this design, the engineers mount the fuel tank at the highest position. It feeds the fuel into the carburetor float chamber by gravity. This system has a very simple design and hence, cheaper to produce and maintain. However, the disadvantage is that you need to place the fuel tank over the carburetor for this system to work correctly. GRAVITY TYPE FUEL FEED SYSTEM
In this system , an airtight fuel tank is used and is placed under the seat or near the engine. the hand operated a pump or mechanically operated pump supplies the high- pressure air to the fuel tank for supply the fuel to the carburetor. AIR PRESSURE TYPE FUEL FEED SYSTEM
VACUUME FUEL FEED SYSTEM
This system uses engine suction pressure to suck the fuel from the main tank to an auxiliary tank The fuel flows to the carburetor float chamber by gravity. This system is now obsolete. VACCUME FUEL FEED SYSTEM
Most present-day cars use this system. This system uses a steel pipe to supply the petrol to the fuel pump which then pumps it into the carburetor float chamber thru’ flexible pipe. If it is a mechanical fuel pump, then it gets the drive from the engine camshaft. Hence, it is attached to the engine. On the other hand, electrically operated fuel pumps can be placed anywhere. So, manufacturers place it inside the fuel tank to reduce the chance of vapor-lock. PUMP PRESSURE FUEL FEED SYSTEM
PUMP PRESSUE FUEL FEED SYSTEM
Modern/present-day vehicles use petrol injection system which replaced the carburetor. The injector nozzle atomizes the fuel and forces it into the air stream. Newer generation engines use separate injector for each cylinder. The air-fuel mixture for different load and speed conditions is controlled either mechanically or electronically. Hence, this makes the fuel system more accurate. For more information, read about the EFI, MPFI & GDi .

Fuel tank Filters Fuel pump Fuel lines Carburetor or injectors Engine-management system Fuel gauge COMPONENTS USED IN PUMP /INJECTION TYPE FUEL FEED SYSTEM
The fuel tank holds the fuel for the engine its imade up of stee or aluminium or synthetic rubber components and fibre reinforced plastics which are flame resistant The tank are coated with lead-tin alloy to protect the tank from the corrosion effect FUEL TANK
FUEL FILTER Filter made up of paper or ceramic element Fuel filter is placed between petrol feed pump and carburettor A fuel filter is a filter in the fuel line that screens out dirt and rust particles from the fuel , normally made into cartridges containing a filter paper

A fuel line is a hose used to bring fuel from one point in a vehicle to another or from a storage tank to a vehicle. It is commonly made of reinforced rubber to prevent splitting and kinking. Fuel lines hose
The main function of carburetors to mix air and gasoline and provides a high combustion mixture. It controls the engine speed. It also regulates the air-fuel ratio. Increase or decrease the amount of mixture according to the engine speed and load changing CARBURETTOR
CARBURETTOR
TYPES OF CARBURETTOR
The function of a carburetor is to vaporize the petrol (gasoline) by means of engine suction and to supply the required air and fuel (petrol) mixture to the engine cylinder. During the suction stroke, air flows from atmosphere into the cylinder. As the air passes through the venturi , velocity of air increases and its pressure falls below the atmosphere. The pressure at the nozzle tip is also below the atmospheric pressure. The pressure on the fuel surface of the fuel tank is atmospheric. . Simple carburettor
Due to which a pressure difference is created, which causes the flow of fuel through the fuel jet into the air stream. As the fuel and air pass ahead of the venturi , the fuel gets vaporized and required uniform mixture is supplied to the engine Note Automization Evaporation Carburation (homogeneous mixture) Carburettor popping due to back fire of lean mixing SIMPLE CARBURETTOR
Advantage of solex carburettor Separate circuit for different, scanario like starting circuit, idling,acceleration .. Esee of starting the Bi starer helps to cold starting of the vehicle Throttle responds increase Solex carburettor has an additional pump circuit for suddern acceleration requirement Easily change flow rate of air fuel ratio.
