JG, we are thinking along the same lines with a few differences. I
will use my hardware in the loop simulator to run the cars efi
electronics That provides the drive for the injectors just as if I was
making a run. I can stop at any rpm and any engine load and gather
samples. I want to get a set of 8 samples at a time so I can do a direct
comparison of the fuel mass per unit time or rpm Instead of volume
measurement, since injectors are rated in pounds per hour, I will use a
scale to make a weight measurement on the sample jars. I was thinking
some pint mason jars, lol. If I use gasoline it will be via long
extension hoses outside the shop. I have a 5 gallon can of mineral
spirits that may be the working fluid, however. Hopefully less flamable
and it will also clean the injectors.
Thanks for th eideas!
