During the power stroke of an internal combustion engine, the energy that is contained in the fuel is converted into heat and pressure in the cylinder in a very short time. This is a very explosive process resulting in the temperature and pressure values in the cylinder to increase dramatically in just a fraction of a sechnd.

A fuel temperature sensor is a critical vehicle's fuel system component that measures the temperature of the fuel and sends this data to the electronic control module (ECM). The sensor is typically located in the fuel rail or fuel line and consists of a resistance temperature detector (RTD) that changes its resistance based on the fuel's temperature. The ECM uses this information to adjust the fuel-to-air ratio, timing, and other engine parameters to optimize performance and fuel efficiency.
