Here's a breakdown:
* Carburetor: This is a mechanical device that uses the venturi effect to draw air into the engine and mix it with fuel. The fuel is atomized (turned into tiny droplets) by the airflow, creating a combustible mixture.
* Modern Engines: Most modern gasoline engines use electronic fuel injection (EFI) instead of carburetors. EFI systems electronically control the fuel flow for more precise fuel-air ratios, leading to better fuel economy and emissions.
