Abstract
A fuel injector comprises an injector body that defines a high pressure passage and a nozzle outlet. The injector body includes a nozzle valve member that is positioned between the high pressure passage and the nozzle outlet. The nozzle valve member is rotatable between a closed position in which the nozzle outlet is blocked and an open position in which the nozzle outlet is open.
