An engine system including a fuel system control arrangement includes an internal combustion engine including an exhaust line, one or more cylinders, and one or more fuel injectors corresponding to the one or more cylinders, means for determining fresh air mass flow into an intake to the engine, a nitrogen oxide (NOx) sensor in the exhaust line, and a controller configured to determine oxygen (O2) in exhaust gas based on a signal from the NOx sensor and to calculate a current fuel injection quantity based on the O2 in the exhaust gas and determined fresh air mass flow into the intake, to compare the current fuel injection quantity to a theoretical fuel injection quantity under current operating conditions, and to adjust an amount of fuel injection from the one or more fuel injectors when the current fuel injection quantity differs from the theoretical fuel injection quantity to make the current fuel injection quantity closer to the theoretical fuel injection quantity.
An engine system including a fuel system control arrangement, comprising:
A method for controlling fuel injection in an internal combustion engine, the engine comprising an exhaust line, one or more cylinders, and one or more fuel injectors corresponding to the one or more cylinders and arranged for injecting fuel into the one or more cylinders, comprising:
