Abstract
A fuel system comprises a first fuel rail. A first fuel delivery system, including a first plurality of fuel injectors, is connected to the first fuel rail. The first plurality of fuel injectors injects an amount of fuel into a first portion of an engine. A second fuel rail has a second fuel delivery system, including a second plurality of fuel injectors. The second plurality of fuel injectors inject an amount of fuel into a second portion of the engine, distinct from the first portion. A controller, operatively connected to the first fuel delivery system and the second fuel delivery system selectively enables and disables operation of the first fuel delivery system and the second fuel delivery system based on one of a detected temperature and a detected pressure of fuel passing to corresponding ones of the first plurality of fuel injectors and the second plurality of fuel injectors.
