Abstract
A fuel injector suitable for gaseous fuels comprises an injection nozzle having a tip region that is shaped to define a valve seat that extends about a central outlet opening and an outward opening injection needle slidably received in the injection nozzle. A nozzle cap is received over the tip region of the injection nozzle, wherein the tip region and the nozzle cap are configured to define an thermal barrier layer between them to reduce thermal transfer. The nozzle cap is releasably clipped onto the tip region. It comprises a slot and is configured to be compressible in a radial direction so as to reduce its outer diameter.
