FLUID CONTROLLED INJECTOR GIVES BETTER ENGINE PERFORMANCE

A new fluid control injection system has been developed based on using lubrication oil as an actuating force for the injector needle rather than the conventional spring pressure used in fuel injectors. The most important benefit if the elimination of wear on the fuel injector components. Also, studies have shown a reduction in exhaust emissions, improvement in fuel economy, reduction in cylinder liner and piston ring wear, cooler exhaust gasses with consequent extension of exhaust valve life, and extended time between overhauls are possible.
