Fuel Systems for Forklifts

Forklift Fuel System - The fuel system is responsible for supplying your engine the gasoline or diesel it requires to be able to run. If whichever of the separate parts in the fuel system break down, your engine will not run properly. There are the main components of the fuel system listed below:

Fuel Tank: The fuel tank holds the fuel. The fuel from the gas station pump, moves from the tank travels downward the gas hose into your tank. Inside the tank there is a sending unit. This is what tells the gas gauge how much gas is within the tank.

Fuel Pump: In newer cars, most contain fuel pumps usually positioned in the fuel tank. A lot of the older automobiles would connect the fuel pump to the engine or located on the frame next to the engine and tank. If the pump is on the frame rail or in the tank, therefore it is electric and operates with electricity from your cars' battery, while fuel pumps that are attached to the engine use the motion of the engine to be able to pump the fuel.

Fuel Filter: For overall engine life and performance, clean fuel is very important. The fuel injector is made up of tiny holes that clog without difficulty. Filtering the fuel is the only way this can be prevented. Filters could be found either after or before the fuel pump and in some instances both places.

Fuel Injectors: The majority of domestic cars after the year 1986, along with earlier foreign cars came from the factory with fuel injection. In place of a carburetor to perform the task of mixing the fuel and the air, a computer controls when the fuel injectors open so as to allow fuel into the engine. This has caused better fuel economy and lower emissions overall. The fuel injector is basically a small electric valve which closes and opens with an electric signal. By injecting the fuel close to the cylinder head, the fuel stays atomized, or within small particles, and can burn better when ignited by the spark plug.

Carburetors: Carburetors have the task of taking the fuel and mixing it with the air without whichever intervention from a computer. Carburetors require repeated rebuilding and retuning even though they are simple to operate. This is amongst the main reasons the newer vehicles on the market have done away with carburetors in favor of fuel injection.
