Fuel is any material that can be used to generate energy to produce mechanical work in a controlled manner. The processes used to convert fuel into energy include chemical reactions, such as combustion, and nuclear reactions, such as nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. Fuels are also used in the cells of organisms in a process known as metabolism. Hydrocarbons are by far the most common source of fuel in current use, but many other substances can be used as well.

Chemical

Chemical fuels are substances that generate energy by reacting with substances around them, most notably by the process of oxidation.

What would cause fuel injectors not to work?
Q. I have a 90' GMC suburban. That recently broke down. Engine shut off and would not start. Fuel pump is working fine, fuel filter etc. Throttle linkage is also fine. My guess is something electronic, maybe a safety feature is causing the fuel injectors not to release fuel. All fuses have been checked. Any ideas for things to check? It is an electronic fuel injected throttle body.

A. 1...Try to spray starting fluid in throttle body while somebody turns the key and cranks engine.If it starts then you know its a fuel delivery problem.If it runs then you need to find out why its not getting fuel 2...Check for injector pulse.You can use a noid light or even a test light will work.Hook test light in series with injector plug and have someone crank engine while watching light.It should pulse/flash.If it does than you know the computer is trying to command injector. 3...If no injector pulse check to see if crank sensor is working.Check to see if computer controls power or ground when injector is fired.

How do I retrieve all the fuel from the fuel tank?
Q. We ship a lot of cars to other countries and it would be ideal to get all the fuel out of the tanks before we put the cars into containers. Most of these cars have filters in the fuel filler neck, so siphoning is not an option. I was wondering if it was possible to rig up a connection to the 'air' valve in the engine compartment (on the fuel rail) and turn the car on allowing the fuel pump to pump all the fuel out? Thanks for the answers and any other sugestions.

Can cleaning the fuel injectors cause lower fuel economy?
Q. Just after getting my fuel injectors cleaned in my Honda a while ago, my fuel economy has gone down.

A. Absolutely not (if they did it properly). How much did you pay and what kind of fuel service did they perform. Sounds like they put one of those bottles from autozone instant results for ten dollars, this will clean your injectors and perform miracles.
