| Fuel flow rate through an injector is affected by a number of different things. This page focuses on the effects of fuel type, primarily fluid properties (viscosity, specific gravity, etc.). | Fuel flow rate through an injector is affected by a number of different things.

| - | Viscosity is a term you hear all the time, but probably haven't given it much thought in terms of injector flow rate. But imagine the difference in pouring water through a funnel compared to honey. The flow rate will obviously be different. And the flow rate will increase as the honey is heated or decrease as it gets cooler. | + | Viscosity is a term you hear all the time, but probably haven't given it much thought in terms of injector flow rate.

| That's an extreme example, of course, but the same principles apply to fuel (with the injector being your funnel). Ethanol can be very different from gasoline and even gasoline from one station can be different from another station. | That's an extreme example, of course, but the same principles apply to fuel (with the injector being your funnel).
