Abstract
A fuel injection nozzle for supplying fuel to a compression ignition engine includes a valve member movable against a spring to allow fuel flow through an outlet from a fuel inlet passage. The valve member is actuated by the pressure of fuel and the nozzle includes a flow path extending from said inlet passage to a drain. The flow passage includes a variable restrictor defined by a port and the valve member, the degree of restriction to the flow of fuel increasing as the valve member moves against the action of the spring.
