Abstract

In a fuel injection arrangement for a multicylinder internal combustion engine having inlet and exhaust valves operated by rocker arms pivotally supported on a hollow rocker arm support shaft, fuel is supplied from a high pressure fuel pump to fuel injectors mounted on the cylinders through a distribution system which includes a pump discharge line connected to the hollow rocker arm support shaft and distribution lines extending from the rocker arm support shaft to the injectors.
