Fuel supply device and fuel supply method
A fuel supply device includes: a linear actuator; a reciprocating pump having a boosting piston driven by the linear actuator and configured to reciprocate in an axial direction, the reciprocating pump being configured to suck the fuel when the boosting piston moves in a first direction and configured to boost and eject the fuel when the boosting piston moves in a second direction; and a controller configured to control driving of the linear actuator so as to adjust an amount of the fuel ejected from a boosting cylinder per reciprocating time by adjusting a ratio of a fuel ejection time and a fuel suction time of the reciprocating pump without changing the reciprocating time of the boosting piston in accordance with a load of the internal combustion engine. The adjustment adjusts a stroke length of the boosting piston and a moving speed of the boosting piston in the second direction.
