Cutaway view of the fuel system for the Ford Model T engine, showing the gravity-feed fuel supply, carburetor cutaway, and intake stream. [4] The Ford Model T engine had one carburetor, a side-draft, single-venturi unit. Its choke and throttle valves were controlled manually; the latter was with a hand lever rather than a foot pedal. The ...
The 3.0 L Power Stroke turbo-diesel V6, codenamed "Lion," was introduced in the 2018 Ford F-150 to compete with the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel V6. The engine has a bore and stroke of 84 mm × 90 mm (3.31 in × 3.54 in) with a compression ratio of 16.0:1, and generates 250 hp (186 kW) at 3,250 rpm and 440 lb⋅ft (597 N⋅m) of torque at 1,750 rpm ...
The throttle on a gasoline engine is typically a butterfly valve. In a fuel-injected engine, the throttle valve is placed on the entrance of the intake manifold, or housed in the throttle body. In a carbureted engine, it is found in the carburetor. When a throttle is wide open, the intake manifold is usually close to ambient atmospheric pressure.
The Ford variable venturi carburetor was replaced by a Weber 28/30 TLDM which used a manifold vacuum-actuated secondary choke instead of the more usual sequential linkage which opens the secondary butterfly at 3/4 to full throttle. The 1.4 L version is less responsive to power modification than other CVH engines, and some common tuning parts ...
Therefore, an accelerator pump is often used to briefly provide extra fuel as the throttle is opened. [12] When the driver presses the throttle pedal, a small piston or diaphragm pump injects extra fuel directly into the carburetor throat. [13] The accelerator pump can also be used to "prime" an engine with extra fuel prior to attempting a cold ...
According to Ford Motor Company, the Model T had fuel economy of 13–21 mpg ‑US (16–25 mpg ‑imp; 18–11 L/100 km). [40] The engine was designed to run on gasoline , although it may also have been able to run on kerosene or ethanol , [ 41 ] [ 42 ] [ 43 ] although the decreasing cost of gasoline and the later introduction of Prohibition ...
The only fuel injected first-generation engine, its sole application was the 1970-1973 Ford Capri RS 2600. It was replaced with the RS 3100. Weslake developed a racing version of the engine, bored to 96 mm (3.78 in) to give 3.0 L; 182.8 cu in (2,995 cc) of displacement and producing in excess of 320 PS (235 kW; 316 hp).
The Model A was the first Ford to use the standard set of driver controls with conventional clutch and brake pedals, throttle, and gearshift. Previous Fords used controls that had become uncommon to drivers of other makes. The Model A's fuel was situated in the cowl, between the engine compartment's fire wall and the dash panel.
