Describe the working of pressure regulation in PFI system with the help of schematic diagram.
Working of Pressure Regulator in PFI System: The fuel pump provides more fuel than the maximum required by the engine. Fuel not used by the engine is returned to the fuel tank. The fuel rail supplies all injectors. The pressure regulator keeps the pressure drop across the injector fuel line and the intake manifold as constant. It contains a diaphragm that has intake manifold pressure on one side and fuel rail pressure on the other. Normally, it is mounted at the outlet end of the fuel rail. The diaphragm operated a valve which opens at a differential pressure between 2.0 and 3.5 bar and allows excess fuel to return to the fuel tank.
