Abstract:
A method of controlling a fuel injector assembly of a four stroke internal combustion engine, with (i) the internal combustion engine having a first cylinder, (ii) the fuel injector assembly having a fuel injector, and (iii) the fuel injector being operatively associated with the first cylinder, comprising:injecting fuel into the first cylinder with the fuel injector during a first engine cycle of the four stroke internal combustion engine, wherein the fuel includes a water emulsion diesel fuel; sensing a combustion-absent condition in the first cylinder during the first engine cycle and generating a combustion-absent control signal in response thereto; and preventing fuel from being injected into the first cylinder with the fuel injector during a second engine cycle if the combustion-absent control signal is generated in the combustion-absent sensing step.
