Abstract

PURPOSE:To stabilize the combustion characteristics of an engine by a method wherein the gasifying characteristics of fuel injected through an injector are kept at a constant state in spite of that the nature of fuel fed through the injector is light fuel or a heavy fuel. CONSTITUTION:Based on a detecting result from a fuel nature detecting sensor 11, an ECU 9 is caused to decrease a fuel injection pressure by a high-pressure pressure regulator 8 to a given value in case of light fuel and increase the fuel injection pressure to a given value in case of heavy fuel. This way keeps the gasifying characteristics of high pressure fuel in a constant state in spite of that the nature of fuel fed to an injector 7 is light fuel or heavy fuel, whereby the combustion characteristics of an engine are stabilized. Further, by stabilizing the combustion characteristics of an engine, emission of exhaust gas, fuel consumption, and running performance are improved.

A fuel property detection sensor for detecting light and heavy fuel properties, fuel injection pressure control means for controlling a fuel injection pressure of the injector, and a light fuel based on a detection result of the fuel property detection sensor. In the case of, the fuel injection pressure by the fuel injection pressure control means is decreased to a predetermined value, and in the case of heavy fuel, the fuel injection pressure is increased to a predetermined value, so that the vaporization characteristic of the high-pressure fuel is made constant. A fuel supply device for an engine, comprising:
