The smaller the fuel particle the better the combustion. Our Direct Injection system sends a mist of microscopic, atomized fuel and air particles directly into the cylinder. Eighty-nine times smaller than the diameter of a human hair, these fuel particles burn quicker, cleaner and more completely producing fewer emissions, better fuel economy and more responsive performance.
