  • Patent number: 9115671
    Abstract: A hybrid fuel injection and carburetor assembly for delivering a fuel and air mixture into an intake manifold of an engine is provided. The assembly includes a housing and a plurality of inserts with Venturi-shaped bores to establish low pressure regions in the flow of air. The housing and inserts cooperate with one another to present cavities, and the inserts include apertures extending between the cavities and the low-pressure regions. The assembly also includes fuel injectors in fluid communication with the cavities. In operation, fuel is injected at a high pressure into the cavities to the point, and the pressurized fuel is delivered into the low pressure air via the apertures. Because of the large pressure difference between the pressurized fuel in the cavities and the low pressure air, the fuel becomes very atomized.
