RE: The caburetor and the injector; the past and the present

in #steemstem7 years ago

Its hard for me to comment on post related to Engineering cos its not just my thing.

However i appreciate the effort put into this.

Is there any particular reason why the carburetor is being replaced by the fuel injector...., they do the same thing i think.

Sort:  

The major reason the injector replaced the carburetor is because the injector can be controlled by the vehicle's computer - the E.C.U. So, its more like saying the carburetor is analog while the injector is digital 😁.
The ability to control the injection of fuel into the engine helps to control emissions and also improves fuel economy.
Hope i made sense.
