2. Oil pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pressure

   Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. [1] With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by a positive displacement oil pump and forced through oil galleries (passageways) into bearings, such as the main bearings, big end bearings ...

3. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

   This can either be a spring-loaded pressure sensor or an electronic pressure sensor, depending on the type of sending unit. Problems with the oil pressure sending unit or the connections between it and the driver's display can cause abnormal oil pressure readings when oil pressure is perfectly acceptable.

4. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

   Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. A pressure switch is a form of switch that operates an electrical contact when a certain set fluid pressure has been reached on its input. The switch may be designed to make contact either on pressure rise or on pressure fall. Pressure switches are widely used in industry ...

5. Engine control unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_control_unit

   Fuel pressure regulator; Rev limiter; Wastegate control and anti-lag; Theft prevention by blocking ignition, in response to input from an immobiliser; In a camless piston engine (an experimental design not currently used in any production vehicles), the ECU has continuous control of when each of the intake and exhaust valves are opened and by ...

6. Fuel gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_gauge

   In most automotive fuel gauges such resistors are on the inward side of the gauge, i.e., inside the fuel tank. Sending current through such a resistor has a fire hazard and an explosion risk associated with it. These resistance sensors are also showing an increased failure rate with the incremental additions of alcohol in automotive gasoline ...

7. Aircraft engine controls - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_engine_controls

   Fuel pressure gauge - Indicates the supply pressure of fuel to the carburetor (or in the case of a fuel-injected engine, to the fuel controller.) Fuel boost pump switch - Controls the operation of the auxiliary electric fuel pump to provide fuel to the engine before it starts or in case of failure of the engine-powered fuel pump. Some large ...
