Fuel Injection System - CFI System: Description

Central Fuel Injection (CFI) system is single point, pulse time modulated injection system. Fuel is metered into air intake stream according to engine demands by single injector, which is mounted in throttle body on intake manifold.

Fuel is supplied by low pressure electric fuel pump mounted in fuel tank. Fuel is filtered, sent to injector and then to pressure regulator. Fuel delivery pressure is maintained at 13-17 psi (9.0-1.2 kg/cm2 ).

Single injector nozzle is mounted vertically above throttle plate. Fuel pressure regulator is downstream from injector in fuel system. Fuel in excess of that needed for engine demand is returned to fuel tank by fuel return line.
