Abstract
A fuel injection system is provided for a multicylinder internal combustion engine. Each cylinder is provided with at least one fuel injector. The system includes a cam-operated pumping plunger which maintains fluid pressure within an accumulator and controls the intermittent application of fluid pressure from the accumulator through a first chamber in which the plunger moves to one end of a metering plunger. The opposite end of the metering plunger coacts with a second chamber in which the metering plunger moves to define a cavity into which fuel is supplied for subsequent feeding to the cylinder injector. Fuel enters the cavity during those periods when the metering plunger is not subjected to the accumulator fluid pressure, the latter being under the control of the pumping plunger. The pumping plunger reciprocates within its chamber and is rotatable about its longitudinal axis. An elongated groove is formed in and encompasses the exterior of the pumping plunger. The effective axial length of the groove may be varied depending upon the relative position of rotation of the pumping plunger within the first chamber, so that the time may be changed as to when the accumulator fluid pr…
