Abstract: This Paper shows the effect of port fuel injection pressure of CNG in 3-cylinder SI Engine at Wide Open Throttle position using sequential port fuel injection system. All trials are performed on 4-stroke, 796 cc MPFI S.I engine at injection pressure of 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8 bar for constant speed of 2500, 3000, 3500, 4000 & 4500 rpm. During the trial compression ratio is kept constant at 9.2 with Maximum Brake Torque (MBT) spark timing of 15oBTDC. Optimum torque is obtained for CNG at injection pressure of 2.6 bar and 3000 rpm. Gasoline trials are performed at same compression ratio for comparison with CNG at same injection pressure. Performance and emission characteristics with combustion analysis are performed at optimum injection pressure of 2.6 bar.
