An EFI engine, or electronic fuel injection engine, combines sophisticated computer controls with a high-pressure fuel delivery system. Although the initial start-up cost can be pricey, the benefits make the price tag worth it.
Benefits of Switching to EFI Engines
- Optimizes fuel efficiency and power
- Offers reliable choke-less starting
- Requires less servicing
- Provides altitude compensation
Optimizes fuel efficiency and power
EFI engines are capable of providing fuel savings up to 25 percent. They have a nearly perfect air to fuel mixture that reduces unneeded consumption and controls emissions up to 20 percent. The computer system is able to determine the correct amount of fuel that needs to be delivered to the injector at the correct time.
Offers reliable choke-less starting
By using an EFI engine, quick start-up is almost always consistent. When you are working a job, time is money and getting your engine started can be imperative. EFI engines provide choke-less startups while also making both warm and cold startups very easy. This can help improve efficiency and productivity.
Requires less servicing
EFI engines do not require carburetor maintenance or replacement costs, and overall need less servicing. For example, the fuel system in EFI engines is completely sealed. Due to this, oxygen and gasoline do not come in contact eliminating the possibility of the fuel going bad and needing servicing.
Provides altitude compensation
Due to the sophisticated computer controls in EFI engines, the engine automatically compensates for any environmental conditions that happen at different altitudes. EFI engines sense the air temperature and density and modifies the fuel flowing through the injector.
The bottom line
The bottom line is that switching to EFI engines can be extremely beneficial, especially in the long run. Although there is a greater cost initially, you will see that switching to EFI engines is worth it in the end. Improved fuel efficiency, less servicing needed, and increased power and consistency will offset the initial cost.
