A Study on the Improvement of Startability and Fuel Efficiency of Saddle-Type Fuel Tank

Jung Hoon Park･Keun soo Kim (Hyundai Motor)

The saddle-type fuel tank has two jet pumps, which tend to have a disadvantage in fuel efficiency and startibility because the jet pump continuously consumes fuel.
We propose a system to compensate for the weakness of these saddle fuel tanks.
In addition, it shall be developed to ensure that performance is not impaired by optimizing the change points compared to the existing system and the performance of the proposed system is to be verified through the various vehicle tests.

Hybrid vehicles are powered by an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. This can improve not only fuel economy but also dynamic performance, and a high-performance powertrain can be considered. However, precise control is required. The electric motor is easy to control, but the internal combustion engine is difficult to control with conventional wire systems. Therefore, we propose a system control using an electronic
