The Carburetor: Heart of the Gasoline Engine

“Your truck runs so smoothly, it must have a great carburetor!” This playful comment from an old driver at the Nguyen Van Linh truck depot in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, reminded me of my early days learning about engines. The carburetor is indeed crucial, acting as the “heart” that fuels the vehicle. Let’s explore this vital component in detail with Hanoi Trucks!

What is a Carburetor?

A carburetor is a mechanical device that mixes air and fuel in the correct proportions to create a combustible mixture for gasoline engines.

How a Carburetor Works

Based on the principle of pressure difference, the carburetor draws air inward through a venturi, where a throttle valve regulates airflow. Simultaneously, fuel is pumped from the fuel tank to the float chamber, then passes through the main jet and is sprayed into the airstream. Finally, the air-fuel mixture is delivered to the cylinders for combustion.
