The phrase
"unburned fuel" refers to the fuel that remains after a combustion process without being completely consumed. It means that some fuel has not been turned into energy and remains unused in its original form.
Full definition
One finally admits, however, that «looking at (emissions standards requiring) 0.04 grams / mile of
unburned fuel in a ported engine is difficult.»
Something to keep in mind regarding diesel dragsters is that they do not use any emissions equipment to more effectively
burn unburned fuel and oil contained in diesel fuel which is essentially kerosene.
+ Car was working fine, however I started experiencing loss of power after several minutes and It smells
like unburned fuel in the cabin.
If your Golf is new enough to have a catalyst (many VW diesels are),
then unburned fuel in the exhaust will quickly damage it, so you want to fix this.
The US Environmental Protection Agency had pointed out that a spark plug failure could
allow unburned fuel to enter the car's exhaust system, where it would encounter a hot catalytic converter.
Smoke coming from a diesel engine is
partially unburned fuel, and the new engines run so efficiently they make sure there's no waste.
If I put some additives and drove around hoping that it will cure the problem blindly, problem could have caused damage to my catalysator (due to
unburned fuel reaching it).
Tuning it richer doesn't give me extra power at the moment, and it smells like
unburned fuel too bad for my liking already.
In the 1980s, your Excel was carbureted, dumping imprecise volumes of fuel into the combustion chambers, and
emitting unburned fuel as a matter of course.
As oil lubricates your engine's parts, it can accumulate a variety of impurities
including unburned fuel, which will degrade the performance of your engine and reduce the efficiency over time, especially miles per gallon.
«The new dual injector system also uses around half the amount of rare metals in the catalyzer by reducing the amount
of unburned fuel and hydrocarbon emissions.»
Deteriorated Spark Plugs or Spark Plug Wires: spark plugs that don't fire, or misfire, can
cause unburned fuel to be discharged into the exhaust system
However Car is still sluggish with the P0300 / I can smell
unburned fuel in cabin Now I'm left with the P0300 code
But they are also dirty:
unburned fuel and oil escapes through the exhaust port as soot, whereas the four - stroke engine more thoroughly burns the gas, which is not mixed with oil.
Eliminating nearly all
the unburned fuel significantly reduces the ensuing smoke and hydrocarbons.
Jet engine exhaust contains carbon dioxide, oxides of sulfur and nitrogen,
unburned fuel, soot and metal particles, as well as water vapor.
Gray smoke from the exhaust is
unburned fuel (i.e., it has been injected into a cylinder, mixed with air, but not burnt).
It is a simple vain air pump that puts fresh air into the exhaust manifold to help burn off
any unburned fuel and reduce emissions.
If the RPM limiter sets in too early, the sparks would be wet and black, because of
the unburned fuel.
These leads to excessive
unburned fuel escaping from the exhaust valve and into the atmosphere, this unburned fuel is partially burned in the exhaust and is turned into DEP (diesel exhaust particles) which are primarily just carbon.
The black smoke may be from
the unburned fuel drawn thru the carb causing a rich mixture on restart.
With out your catalytic bricks in place to aid in burning off
unburned fuels you won't pass emissions.
Fuel helps remove heat from the cylinder, but
unburned fuel is inefficient.
The unburned fuel ignites inside the converter and could result in a partial or complete melt down of the ceramic catalyst.
@JacobJones Even on a 2000 Toyota, that fuel is passing through a cat before it leaves the car, which will oxidize most if not all of
the unburned fuel.
The A.I.R. system is an emissions system that is designed to inject air into the exhaust manifold to help with the combustion of
any unburned fuel before it reaches the catalytic converter, resulting in cleaner emissions.
The gearbox will even cut engine spark on up and downshifts for faster gearchanges — and then when
the unburned fuel ignites in the exhaust system, it sounds mega.
The dual injector system also allows the use of around half the amount of rare metals in the catalyzer by reducing the amount of
unburned fuel and hydrocarbon emissions.
