Abstract

The Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system is the introduction of fuel in an internal combustion engine and most commonly automotive engine. This system consists of fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel rail and injectors. A fuel rail is essentially a pipe and usually resembling a rail, the main function of the fuel rail is to deliver the fuel to individual fuel injectors on the internal combustion engine. It is designed to assemble or that fits with the fuel injectors of the engine as well as an inlet for a fuel supply. The fuel rail is important for the optimal distribution of the fuel (petrol) to the injectors in the internal combustion engine. The engine system will have pressure loss in the fuel rail in order to supply fuel at the higher engine speed. The amount of fuel injected at each injector due to the weakness design of standard fuel rail. In this project, two fuel rails with different diameter were designed by using Computer Aided Design (CAD) and the fluid flow of fuel in these different fuel rails were studied by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). By the end of this project, the result have shown the performance fuel rail is more better than standard fuel rail in fuel flow. Other than that, the pressure of the fuel flow to the rail is increase when using performance fuel rail.
