Q. 63. What are the important properties which S.I. engine fuel possess ? Ans.
The following are the important properties which S.I. engine fuel should possess :
1. Volatility, i.e., easily vapourise and mix with air, should not form vapour lock. 2.
2.30 Deaerator with storage tank During suction of the BFP, some of the
saturated feedwater may flash into vapour due to reduction in pressure causing
vapour lock and cavitation problems in the pump. To prevent this from occurring
and to ...

Vapour lock : e Vapour lock is a situation where too lean a mixture is supplied to
the engine. The P automotive fuel pump should handle both liquids and vapours.
If the amount of fuel evaporated in the fuel system is very high the fuel pump is ...
When the vapour pressure is low (at the working temperature), the evaporated
vapour bubbles cause vapour lock in the flow passage. The collapse of vapour
bubbles, generally known as "cavitation", results in local pressure forces that
cause ...

FUNDAMENTALS OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES
The possibility of vapour lock increases with highly volatile fuels related to the
front-end volatility and by the exposure of the ... In order to avoid vapour lock, the
fuel lines, the pump and the carburettor should be placed in relatively cool
regions ...
(e) Vapour Lock When the fuel pump produces vacuum and pressure alternately,
vacuum can form in the pump. During the vacuum phase, the temperature of the
fuel is lowered. When the pressure is lower, the temperature also becomes ...

Hence, the vapour pressure should be controlled seasonally. To reduce the
possibility of hot fuel—handling problems, such as vapour lock or carbon canister
overloading at high temperatures, the vapour pressure must be controlled
precisely.
M.K. Gajendra Babu, K.A. Subramanian, 2013
Vapour lock tendency is greatly influenced by the design of the fuel system, but
for a given car it depends on fuel volatility, atmospheric temperature and
pressure. The effect of altitude can be marked since atmospheric pressure
decreases with ...

Internal combustion engines:
Vapour lock is a problem that occurs when the liquid fuel vaporizes while still in
the fuel delivery circuit, causing loss of feed pressure to the injectors and so
resulting in engine power losses. The fuel can vaporize due to being heated by
the ...
