A supplemental fuel system includes a supplemental fuel tank, an electronic valve, a voltage sensor, and a controller. The supplemental fuel tank is configured to store a supplemental fuel configured to supplement a primary fuel used by an engine. The electronic valve is configured to be positioned between the supplemental fuel tank and an air supply system for the engine. The voltage sensor is configured to acquire voltage data from a power supply indicative of a voltage of the power supply. The power supply is configured to receive power from an alternator driven by the engine. The controller is configured to control the electronic valve such that the electronic valve is closed in response to the voltage being less than a voltage threshold indicating that the engine is not operating and open/openable in response to the voltage being greater than the voltage threshold indicating that the engine is operating.

A supplemental fuel system includes a fuel mixer having a nozzle and a stem. The nozzle is configured to be positioned within a conduit of an air supply system for an engine. The nozzle has a body defining a first inlet, an outlet, a passage extending from the first inlet to the outlet, and a second inlet positioned between the first inlet and the outlet. The body has a first cross-sectional dimension that is configured to be less than a second cross-sectional dimension of the conduit such that (i) a first portion of air flowing through the conduit flows through the passage and (ii) a second portion of the air flowing through the conduit flows around the nozzle. The stem has a first end that interfaces with the second inlet. The stem is configured to extend through a wall of the conduit.

A fuel air delivery circuit, system, and method for the intake of an internal combustion engine, that provides an enhanced pressure condition to a supplementary or auxiliary air fuel circuit or circuits in connection with a conventional fuel delivery passage or passages, such as, but not limited to, a main, needle, or other jet, injector port, manifold, plenum, or the like, to provide enhanced vaporization and mixture of the fuel and air, and delivery to an associated intake path, such as the bore of a carburetor, intake runner, or the like, to provide improved throttle response and acceleration, and additionally which supplementary circuit will automatically recharge with fuel when a triggering condition is present, such as under steady state and deceleration conditions.

A dual compressor turbocharger includes two compressors. One compressor supplies fuel pressure, and one compressor supplies air pressure. The dual compressor turbocharger includes a turbine driven by exhaust of an engine and a shaft coupled to the turbine. The first compressor is mounted on the shaft and includes a first inlet coupled to an air supply and a first outlet coupled to an air intake of the engine. The second compressor is mounted on the shaft and includes a second inlet coupled to a fuel supply and a second outlet coupled to a fuel supply rail of the engine.

In a piping connection structure of a vehicle including: a throttle body connected to a power unit of the vehicle to adjust an intake air amount; a fuel injection device for injecting fuel to an intake passage including the throttle body; first pipings attached to the fuel injection device; and second pipings provided separately from the first pipings, and having end parts connected to the first pipings so as to intersect with the first pipings, a connection part between the first pipings and the second pipings has a long adjustment holes, which extend so as to allow adjustment of relative angles between the first pipings and the second pipings.

In an intake device, an upper fuel injection device that injects a fuel and a suction port that suctions the air-fuel mixture supplied to a cylinder head are disposed in the air cleaner. The intake device includes the air cleaner including an air cleaner case and a sidewall filter that purifies an air suctioned into the air cleaner case. The sidewall filter partitions a space in the air cleaner case in a vehicle width direction, and has at least partially overlapping with the upper fuel injection device in the vehicle width direction.

An intake manifold for an internal combustion engine includes a plurality of pieces joined with each other at a linearly extending joint. The pieces include a first piece and a second piece. The joint of the first piece and the second piece includes a first portion and a second portion excluding the first portion. The intake manifold is configured so that the first portion is opposed to a fuel system component of the internal combustion engine when the intake manifold is coupled to the internal combustion engine. A force required to separate the second piece from the first piece is referred to as a joining force. The joining force at the first portion is greater than the joining force at the second portion.

An engine control apparatus controls includes a cleaning mode to clean a deposit generated in an intake system of an engine. The engine control apparatus includes a generation source calculator, a deposit calculator, and a mode controller. The generation source calculator is configured to calculate an attached generation source amount on the basis of a temperature of the intake system. The attached generation source amount is an amount of a generation source, of the deposit, attached to the intake system. The deposit calculator is configured to calculate an attached deposit amount that is an amount of the deposit attached to the intake system, on the basis of the attached generation source amount and the temperature of the intake system. The mode controller is configured to execute the cleaning mode, when the attached deposit amount is greater than an execution threshold.

A cylinder block including: a plurality of cylinders; a cylinder head attached on the cylinder block and including, for each of the cylinders, an intake port extending from a combustion chamber upward and obliquely relative to an axis of the cylinder; a direct injector disposed at a position on an outer side of the intake port in a cylinder radial direction and directly injecting fuel into the combustion chamber; a port injector disposed at a position on a same side as the direct injector relative to the intake port, and injecting fuel into the intake port are provided. The intake port includes: a valve seat provided at an intake air inlet opened to the combustion chamber; and an arc portion protruding downward in a center area of the intake port on an upstream side of the valve seat, and an injection direction of the port injector is orientated in a direction in which the fuel injected from the port injector passes through a lower area of the arc portion.

An internal combustion engine includes an auxiliary chamber bulkhead, the auxiliary chamber bulkhead including: a peripheral wall portion that is inserted in a vertical hole extending from a combustion chamber along a reference axis and that is in contact with an inner wall of the vertical hole about the reference axis; and a bottom wall portion that is continuous from the peripheral wall portion and that bulges from the vertical hole toward the combustion chamber, the peripheral wall portion and the bottom wall portion defining an auxiliary chamber that communicates with the combustion chamber. An ignition plug is disposed above the peripheral wall portion along the reference axis. A fuel injection valve is disposed in a position inclined with respect to the reference axis toward an opening formed in an inner surface of the peripheral wall portion.
