Abstract
A fuel injection system for supplying fuel to an internal combustion engine includes a piston slidable within a cylinder, the piston being subjected to the pressure of air within the engine cylinder during the compression stroke. Displacement of the piston generates a fuel pressure in a pumping chamber which is sufficiently high to open the valve member of a fuel injection nozzle which fuel is supplied to the combustion space. A valve is provided through which fuel can be admitted to the cylinder from a source of fuel under pressure and a non-return valve is provided between the aforesaid cylinder and the pumping chamber.
