fuel mixture

Fuel mixture refers to the precise combination of fuel and air that is supplied to an engine for combustion. The correct fuel mixture is essential for optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emission control. Too much fuel (a rich mixture) can cause incomplete combustion and increased emissions, while too little fuel (a lean mixture) may lead to engine knocking and potential damage. Understanding fuel mixture helps in tuning engines, diagnosing performance issues, and improving overall fuel economy.
