    Hello readers, In the last article, we had discussed the Components and Classification of
    IC Engines whereas, in this session, we will be discussing the Difference Between the
    Fuel Injector and Spark Plug in a detailed way along with their definitions.

    What is a fuel injector?


    As the name indictes that it injects the fuel into the combustion chamber in suitable
    intervals.

    In C.I Engine, there will be no spark plug and instead of it, the Fuel injector is replaced
    but due to the high compression ratio employed by the air in the engine cylinder, the
    combustion will takes place due to the presence of heat in the air and the fuel injection
    from the top of the engine head.

    The Fuel injector is the advance of the Carburettor because at whatever the speed it
    might be, the carburettor will be sending the same amount of fuel into the combustion
    chamber whereas the Fuel Injector decides the suitable amount of fuel supply depending
    upon the speed of the vehicle.

    Now, let's talk about Spark Plug...

    What is a Spark Plug?
    A spark plug is a component which is located in the cylinder head is used to ignite the fuel
    at the end of the compression stroke and at the beginning of the expansion stroke in the
    engine cylinder.

    Dissected modern spark plug showing the one-piece sintered alumina insulator. The lower portion is
    unglazed by Industry Shill.

    The main aim is to produce the spark in the combustion chamber for the ignition of
    charge (fuel and air mixture) present in the cylinder. The proper location of the spark plug
    in the cylinder head and the distance between the reciprocating piston provide correct
    timing for Ignition.

    You can see the Spark plug in the case of Internal Combustion Engines.

    Now, let's understand the major difference Between the Fuel Injector and Spark Plug.

    Difference Between the Fuel Injector and Spark Plug


    The Difference Between the Fuel Injector and Spark Plug was presented below in the
    tabular column.

    The Fuel Injector is used in The Spark Plug was used in S.I Engines.
    C.I.Engines.

    Only Air is used in the cylinder and Air-Fuel mixture is used in the S.I. Engines.
    the fuel is injected from the top of
    the cylinder head.

    There is no need for a spark plug in The Spark plug is used to ignite the air-fuel
    the case of C.I. Engines. Only mixture entering into the combustion
    Compressed air and fuel injection chamber for the conversion of reciprocating
    are responsible for the ignition. motion into rotary motion of the piston.
