 Carburetor Vs Fuel injector | Which is better ? | By AutomotiveEngine

In this video, I explained the difference and the advantages, disadvantages between carburetor and fuel injection system.

Unlike carburetors, a Fuel Injection system is comprised of a complex set of electronics and sensors. In carbureted systems the fuel gets drawn from the tank, while in a Fuel Injected system it depends on a fuel pump installed inside the tank for a fine-grained control over fuel flow. The fuel injection nozzle also goes directly inside the combustion chamber. The pressurized fuel is very well atomized as a homogenous mist in case of FI systems, allowing for very efficient and clean combustion.

The fuel supply in case of FI is controlled through an electric brain, or ECU, which constantly makes complex calculations at a very high frequency to deliver the best air-fuel mixture possible. Based on a whole variety of parameters such as engine speed, throttle position, engine temperature and load etc the ECU directs the injectors to let in just the right amount of fuel with every intake stroke to facilitate the most efficient combustion.

Now, while the efficacy of an FI system has been proven to be superior to carburetor, it’s not that the two systems don’t have their distinct advantages and disadvantages. Here, we will discuss the merits and pitfalls of the two systems in brief bullet points.
