Abstract

An improved apparatus for injecting fluid into an internal combustion engine includes a fluid conduit in the engine's cylinder head for discharging fluid into the zone of the valve head. The fluid conduit outlet is positioned so that when the valve is in the seated or closed position, the outlet is substantially closed, and when the valve is in the open, unseated position, the outlet is open, thereby permitting a substantial flow of fluid through the conduit only when the valve is open.
