Fuel injection • Fuel injection is a system for mixing fuel with air in an internal combustion engine. It has become the primary fuel delivery system used in gasoline automotive engines, having almost comppyletely replaced carburetors in the late 1980s. • The carburetor was invented by Karl Benz (founder of Mercedes‐Benz) in 1885 and patented in 1886. • Carburetors were the usual fuel delivery method for almost all gasoline (petrol)‐ fuelled engines up until the late 1980s, when fuel injection became the preferred method of automotive fuel delivery. In the U.S. market, the last carbureted cars were the 1990 Oldsmo bile CtCustom CiCruiser, BikBuick EttEstate Wagon, and SbSubaru Justy, and the last carbureted light truck was the 1994 Isuzu. Elsewhere, Lada cars used carburetors until 1996. A majority of motorcycles still use carburetors due to lower cost and throttle response problems with early injection set ups, but as of 2005, many new models are now being introduced with fuel injection. Internal combustion Engines: Carburetor, Fuel injection Carburetors are still found in small engines and in older or specialized automobiles, such as those designed for stock car racing.
