Abstract
A fuel system for a compression ignition engine comprises a fuel injection nozzle including a fuel pressure actuated valve member biased by a spring contained in a chamber. Fuel is supplied through an inlet passage under pressure from a fuel pump. Valve means is provided which can be opened to spill fuel from the pump. A passage conveys the shock wave resulting from the opening of the valve to the chamber to assist closure of the valve member of the nozzle.
