Electronic gaseous fuel injection system
First Claim
1. A gaseous fuel delivery system for an internal combustion engine having at least one cylinder with fuel intake and exhaust gas ports and an ignition system and having a controlled air intake system for each of the cylinders of the engine, comprising;
- a source of gaseous fuel in fluid form,a fuel plenum having at least one fuel atomizer nozzle for each cylinder of the engine, where each nozzle is in communication with the air intake system proximate the intake port in each cylinder,fuel flow control means connected between the source of gaseous fuel and the fuel plenum, said control means having,an electrically controlled linearly operating fuel valve for regulating the flow of fuel from the gaseous source to the fuel plenum, andelectronic control means having a plurality of inputs and an output connected to the linearly operating fuel valve.

Abstract
A gaseous fuel delivery system for an internal combustion engine having at least one cylinder with fuel intake and exhaust gas ports and an ignition system and having a controlled air intake system for each of the cylinders of the engine which includes a source of gaseous fuel, a fuel plenum having at least one fuel atomizer nozzle for each cylinder of the engine, where each nozzle is in communication with the air intake system proximate the intake port in each cylinder, a fuel flow rate control device connected between the source of gaseous fuel and the fuel plenum which contains an electronic control unit having a plurality of optimum fuel/air mixture variables as inputs and a modulated pulse width output connected to a linear d.c. motor, the shaft stroke of which controls the operation of a fuel valve for regulating the flow of fuel from the gaseous source to the fuel plenum.
