Abstract

A fuel injection system for internal combustion engines, having a pump chamber defined by the pump piston and a pressure chamber adapted to communicate with the injection nozzle; and further including an intermediate piston disposed between the two work chambers, in which during the compression stroke of the intermediate piston a throttle conduit which branches off from the pump chamber can be opened, in order to allow some of the fluid to flow out of the pump chamber while leaving the injection quantity located in the pressure chamber unchanged, to thereby attain a lengthening of the injection duration.
