KITPLANES Firewall Forward: Fuel Injection

Last time we talked about carburetors, so this episode of KITPLANES Firewall Forward sponsored by Tempest looks at traditional aircraft fuel injection. Editor at large Paul Dye looks at some of the mechanical-injection tech and offers suggestions for ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting.

It would be great to cover also a modern EFI system since these are becoming much more prevalent in the homebuilts world. These old mechanical systems are archaic and really not much better than a carburetor.

What about the fuel Inlet screen? Shouldn't you clean that periodically?

How does the flow divider actually divide the flow of fuel to each cylinder at the correct time?

Can fuel injected engines ice-up like a carburetted engine? 🤔

Surprised that fuel mixture is still a manual operation. FI on autos has been fully automatic for 30 years.
