<p>A controllable fuel injection system 6 for a two-stroke, compression ignition, engine, the fuel system comprises a fuel injector 8, 9 configured to inject fuel into a cylinder of an engine 7, a means for detecting combustion in the cylinder 10, 11 and a controller 14 for controlling the injection of fuel into the cylinder by the injector and for monitoring combustion detected by the combustion sensor 12, 13. The controller controls fuel injection timing in dependence on the timing of combustion. Also provided are a two-stroke, compression ignition engine, a generator and a method of controlling a two-stroke compression ignition, engine. The invention provides an engine that will be optimised for operation under conditions such as use at altitude or using poor quality fuel, by varying the injection timing based on the time of the start of combustion, or more specifically the delay between the preceding fuel injection and the start of combustion.</p> |
