Conventional two-stroke spark-ignition (2S-SI) engines are preferred for several applications where demand for high specific power is the priority. However, these engines emit high levels of hydrocarbons (HC) and their specific fuel consumption is also very high. Short-circuiting of the fuel–air mixture during scavenging is the reason for the high HC emissions and high fuel consumption in these types of engines. Development of simple and cost effective methods to improve these systems is on for a long time. In several parts of the world 2S-SI engines are still being used for compact applications and in small vehicles. Recent literature [1] also show the relevance of developing low-pressure direct injection methods as an alternative to high pressure Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) systems. Electronic fuel injection through the intake manifold can deliver emission benefits in four-stroke SI (4S-SI) engines since they provide better control of air–fuel ratio (A/F). However, manifold injection of fuel cannot prevent short-circuiting of the mixture in a conventional two-stroke SI engine since air–fuel mixture is prepared primarily in the crankcase. Injecting the fuel directly into the combustion chamber, very late during the compression stroke, can reduce short circuiting losses. However, this can result in inadequate time for preparation of a homogenous, combustible air–fuel mixture. This can also lead to excessive stratification adversely effecting combustion and emissions. The high pressure Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) system is a solution but is relatively expensive. Air assisted direct injection of gasoline at moderate pressures has already been tried in vehicles for transportation. These systems use compressed air to atomise the fuel. A rich mixture of air and fuel is thus injected and subsequent mixture preparation in the cylinder becomes easy. This system is complex since it requires an air compressor and a combinational injector.
