Oh, so the question boils down to "Why did Bosch choose a higher pressure when they developed the FI?" I think the answer would be: Because you need more pressure to fully atomize the gas when you spray it out of a nozzle like that. The injectors themselves could have been made to deliver fuel at the necessary rate even at a lower pressure, but I don't know how low they could have gone > as opposed to say the fuel return line or the carbon filter or > something else on the FI system? The return line require more flow, but no more pressure. The carbon filter is on the gas tank vent line, so it doesn't enter the picture (and not all FI cars got it.) The idea of a Low Pressure FI system is somewhat intriguing. I wonder if it could have been done somehow, especially in the K-Jetronic scheme where the injection is going on all the time (CIS.) It would be interesting to have a FI system that ran off the standard old diaphram pump. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
