Direct injection(DI) refers to fuel injected directly into the combustion chamber above the piston. Direct injection has long been used on large diesel engines. Smaller diesels are increasingly adopting direct injection(vs. indirect injection into a pre-chamber). Direct injection also can be used in spark ignition(generally gasoline) engines instead of port fuel injection-for cleaner emissions, increased full throttle power and potentially for lean-burn operation. 4, record 4, English, - direct%20injection%20engine

À bien des égards, l'injection directe représente une étape de plus dans l'évolution des systèmes d'alimentation des moteurs à essence. Lors de chaque étape de cette évolution (où l'on est passé du carburateur mécanique à l'injection monopoint et multipoint, puis à l'injection multipoint séquentielle), on a tiré avantage d'améliorations apportées aux injecteurs et aux systèmes de commande électroniques, pour réaliser des progrès graduels dans la maîtrise des moteurs à combustion interne. 3, record 5, French, - injection%20s%C3%A9quentielle%20de%20carburant
