A catalytic converter is an automotive emissions control device that converts harmful pollutants in the exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine into less harmful substances. It is a type of exhaust gas treatment device, which reduces tailpipe emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrocarbons (HC) by up to 90%. Catalytic converters… Continue reading What Is a Catalytic Converter and What Does It Do?

Fuel injection is a system that precisely meters and injects fuel into an internal combustion engine. It replaces the carburetor, which is a mechanical device that mixes air and fuel. Fuel injection systems are more efficient than carburetors and can provide better fuel economy, performance, and emissions control. There are two main types of fuel… Continue reading How a fuel injection system works
