<p>Ignition-Assisted Fuel Combustion System Conventional direct injection internal combustion engines will not completely ignite and burn relatively lower-cetane-number fuels such as 100 percent methanol or ethanol because the fuel spray injection pattern usually cannot carry or propagate a flame to all the injected fuel which is typically made up of individual fuel streams which are separated by pockets of fuel-deficient intake air. The present fuel combustion system includes a fuel ignition-initiating device such as a glow plug and apparatus for interconnectedly contacting and continuously bridging all of the individual fuel streams with an auxiliary cloud of well-atomized fuel. In this manner, a flame initiated by the fuel ignitioninitiating device is rapidly and completely propagated via the auxiliary cloud of fuel to all the individual fuel streams.</p> |
