Fuel injected IC engines

[Genghis the Engineer]

I confess that fuel injected engines are a bit of a mystery to me, but they are starting to become more common on light aircraft so I need to be able to pretend that I'm clever than I really am.

So, can anybody recommend any good books / papers / websites / etc. covering the design, testing, operating, monitoring and so on of fuel injected IC 4-stroke petrol engines in general, and on aeroplanes in particular?

Do you mean the traditional mechanical injection, the likes of fitted to Piper/Cessna/Beech et al. Or are you looking for information on electronic injection systems as fitted to modern cars?

Mostly the latter, I have the privilege of having very little to do with the older Lycontinental engines, but spend a lot of time worrying about the behaviour of either the 4-stroke Rotax products, or various attempts to produce new engines based (usually) upon automotive technology.

This sort of thing (http://www.raven-rotor.com/html/redrive.html) (to pick a purely random example).

I'll be along with some more after the latest AOG subsides.

edit:

Quick recover and passengers now happily on their way, back to the real business.

Try this site for a little more detail, although if focuses mainly with Bosch systems: http://www.vectorbd.com/bosch.html.

Anymore? let me know.
