But fuel pressure also affects how quickly the injector can open and close. Higher pressure differential (base pressure) increases the amount of force the injector internals have to overcome to start flowing. This increases the "deadtime" of the injector and needs to be taken into account. | But fuel pressure also affects how quickly the injector can open and close.

- | To illustrate this affect, we took a set of FIC BM1450s and ran them at varying fuel pressures from 35psi up to 60psi in 5psi increments. The results are shown below. | + | To illustrate this effect, we took a set of FIC BM1450s and ran them at varying fuel pressures from 35psi up to 60psi in 5psi increments.

- | Flow rate in that chart above was normalized to 43.5psi to illustrate only the effect on deadtime since the effect on fuel flow rate is easily calculated.

Obviously changing base fuel pressure changes deadtime as well as basic flow rate. So both effects need to be taken into account when changing base fuel pressure. | Obviously changing base fuel pressure changes deadtime as well as basic flow rate.
