Abstract
A member is formed with first and second cam protrusions. First and second movable plungers define a common pumping chamber, the volume of which varies in accordance with the position of each of the plungers. The plungers alternately engage the cam protrusions and are reciprocated thereby in synchronism with rotation of an engine crankshaft. Fuel is supplied to the pumping chamber as the pumping chamber expands. The fuel is directed out of the pumping chamber toward an engine combustion chamber to effect a fuel injection stroke as the pumping chamber contracts. The timing of engagement of one of the plungers with one of the cam protrusions and the timing of engagement of the other plunger with the other cam protrusion are offset by a preset angular interval with respect to rotation of the crankshaft, the interval being chosen so that the rate of fuel injection during an initial stage of the fuel injection stroke is relatively small.
