Abstract
An internal combustion engine has a particulate filter for collecting exhaust particulate matters included in exhaust gas. An oxidization catalyst is supported on the particulate filter. A fuel injection control system for the engine has injection quantity setting means. The injection quantity setting means sets an injection quantity for a post-injection so that the injection quantity is increased toward a basic injection quantity corresponding to a heating value, which is suitable for eliminating exhaust particulate matters collected by a particulate filter. The injection quantity is gradually increased to the basic injection quantity while maintaining temperature of the particulate filter including the oxidization catalyst above a lower limit temperature for inhibiting generation of white smoke. The lower limit temperature is determined in accordance with the injection quantity.
