A fuel system is provided for switching between two separate regulated pressures of a first fuel pump to a supply line. The supply line supplies both a second fuel pump of a high pressure fuel injection system and a fuel injector separate from the high pressure fuel injection system. The switchover can include multiple regulators, one of which is selectively disabled.

To make it possible to prevent damage to a brazed part without increasing the thickness of a rail body even when the rail body and an end cap are fixed to each other by brazing, in view of high-pressure gasoline direct injection systems of the future. A gasoline direct injection rail comprising end caps 2 disposed inside respective ends of a rail body 1, with an outer circumference 3 of each end cap 2 and an inner circumference 4 of the rail body 1 being fixed to each other by brazing, wherein a reinforcing ring 6 having an axial length L of L5 mm is provided on the outer circumference 3 of the rail body 1; a first end 10 on an end cap 2 side of the reinforcing ring 6 is positioned so as not to overlap a brazed part 12 between the rail body 1 and the end cap 2; a distance X from the first end 10 of the reinforcing ring 6 to a distal end 13 of the brazed part 12 is 0 mmX15 mm; and a thickness of the reinforcing ring 6 is 40% or more of a thickness of the rail body 1.

A fuel injection system for a reciprocating engine, comprising injectors for injecting pressurized fuel into the cylinders of the engine, a high pressure pump for pressurizing fuel to be injected, a supply pipe for feeding fuel from the high pressure pump toward the injectors and feed pipes for feeding fuel from the supply pipe to the injectors. The first ends of the feed pipes are connected to the injectors and the second ends to the supply pipe. Each fuel injector is provided with a pressure accumulator.

Methods and systems are provided for a fuel system. In one example, a method includes adjusting a threshold of a diagnostic based on a distance between a fuel tank and a ground surface. The distance is inferred based on a vehicle weight.

A mixture formation apparatus, especially for an internal combustion engine of a working device, has a mixture formation apparatus housing, where a surface of the mixture formation apparatus housing is provided at least partly with a layer structure for protection from corrosion and/or deposits. The layer structure has at least one aluminium oxide layer having a layer thickness of at least 10 m. A method of manufacturing the mixture formation apparatus, and a working device or an internal combustion engine having the mixture formation apparatus, are disclosed.

A method is provided for detecting a leakage in a fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine. The fuel supply system includes a fuel line system with fuel line sections and a pressure monitoring system with monitoring segments, a set of valves, and a pressure sensor. The method includes detecting a leakage between the fuel line sections and the pressure monitoring system when the set of valves are opened to fluidly connect the monitoring segments. The method also includes performing at least two pressure measurements for at least two selected sets of neighboring monitoring segments for providing pressure behavior information for the selected sets of neighboring monitoring segments. The method further includes comparing the pressure behavior information of the selected sets of neighboring monitoring segments, and identifying a leaking monitoring segment based on the comparison.

A mixture formation apparatus, especially for an internal combustion engine of a working device, has a mixture formation apparatus housing, where a surface of the mixture formation apparatus housing is provided at least partly with a layer structure for protection from corrosion and/or deposits. The layer structure has at least one aluminium oxide layer having a layer thickness of at least 10 m. A method of manufacturing the mixture formation apparatus, and a working device or an internal combustion engine having the mixture formation apparatus, are disclosed.

A first pressure sensor is disposed in a first fuel system between a first shutoff valve and a second shutoff valve. A second pressure sensor is disposed in a second fuel system between the second shutoff valve and a fuel injection valve. A determination process determines a leakage anomaly in the first fuel system or the second fuel system based on a first magnitude relationship or a second magnitude relationship. The first magnitude relationship is a relationship between a detection value of the first pressure sensor in a state in which the first fuel system is filled with gaseous fuel and a first threshold value. The second magnitude relationship is a relationship between a detection value of the second pressure sensor in a state in which the second fuel system is filled with gaseous fuel and a second threshold value.

A gas processing system comprises a compressor, an engine configured to drive the compressor, and a control system with emissions quantification capabilities. In some examples, one or more emissions lines direct leakage emissions from the compressor to the engine to be ingested as an alternate fuel source. One or more oxygen sensors generate oxygen sensor data indicating oxygen levels in an exhaust stream of the engine. The control system determines an actual air-fuel ratio of the exhaust stream based at least in part on the oxygen sensor data. The control system determines an error correction corresponding to an adjustment in the air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine to compensate for a difference between the actual air-fuel ratio and a commanded stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. The control system quantifies the leakage emissions from the compressor based at least in part on a comparison of the error correction to a baseline error correction.
