Well, you don't want to inject more fuel than what the amount of air inside the cylinder will allow to burn. Any excess will just come out as black smoke, and may eventually damage the engine.
Older engines have mechanical fuel pumps which limits the amount, newer engines may have electronically controlled injectors and even exhaust monitoring to keep them from adding too much fuel.

Can a fuel injection engine run without a catalytic converter?
If the engine was designed to run with a cat fitted, the answer is yes, but the emissions would be out of acceptable limits. Most diesels are not cat equipped, but by the nature of being a diesel, they are injection engines. Know that is is illegal to remove a catalytic converter without replacing it with another one.
Explain the working of four stroke petrol engine?
It differs from a diesel engine in the method of mixing the fuel and air, and in the fact that it uses spark plugs to initiate the combustion process. In a diesel engine, only air is compressed (and therefore heated), and the fuel is injected into the now very hot air at the end of the compression stroke, and self-ignites. In a petrol engine, the fuel and air are usually pre-mixed before compression (although some modern petrol engines now utilise cylinder-direct petrol injection). The pre-mixing was formerly done in a carburetor, but now (except in the smallest engines) it is done by electronically-controlled fuel injection. Pre-mixing of fuel and air allows a petrol engine to run at a much higher speed than a diesel, but severely limits their compression, and thus efficiency
Is there a top speed governor on a Ford Explorer?
The powertrain control module limits the RPM of the engine by cutting back on the amount of fuel to protect the engine

When a claim is filed do you only get the amount of the policy?
You can only collect the amount of your actual loss but no more than the limits on the policy. If a person does not have enough limits on his policy and he hit you then you can sue him for more but you will not be able to collect the policy limits amount then still sue for the remainder of the loss.
How the governor unit on diesel engine function to maintain the travel speed of the tractor on varying load?
The governor simply limits the maximum allowed speed and/or RPMs. On some motors, they have a feature (known as "Multi Torque" on Caterpillar diesels) which kicks in when the motor is becoming strained under load. It increases the amount of fuel which goes through the injectors, effectively increasing horsepower and torque.
How governor works in engine?
A vital component of any diesel engine system is the governor, which limits the speed of the engine by controlling the rate of fuel delivery.*Diesel engine speed is controlled solely by the amount of fuel injected into the engine by the injectors. Because a diesel engine is not self-speed-limiting, it requires not only a means of changing engine speed (throttle control) but also a means of maintaining the desired speed. The governor provides the engine with the feedback mechanism to change speed as needed and to maintain a speed once reached. A governor is essentially a speed-sensitive device, designed to maintain a constant engine speed regardless of load variation. Since all governors used on diesel engines control engine speed through the regulation of the quantity of fuel delivered to the cylinders, these governors may be classified as speed-regulating governors. As with the engines themselves there are many types and variations of governors. In this module, only the common mechanical-hydraulic type governor will be reviewed. The major function of the governor is determined by the application of the engine. In an engine that is required to come up and run at only a single speed regardless of load, the governor is called a constant-speed type governor. If the engine is manually controlled, or controlled by an outside device with engine speed being controlled over a range, the governor is called a variable- speed type governor. If the engine governor is designed to keep the engine speed above a minimum and below a maximum, then the governor is a speed-limiting type. The last category of governor is the load limiting type. This type of governor limits fuel to ensure that the engine is not loaded above a specified limit. Note that many governors act to perform several of these functions simultaneously.
What does a governor in a truck do?
It limits the amount of travel for the throttle ... in other words, limits how fast the truck can travel down the road.
