Abstract
A fuel injection system for a diesel engine has fuel pump driven by the engine for producing highly pressurized fuel, a common rail for storing the pressurized fuel therein and injection nozzles for injecting the pressurized fuel stored in the common rail into the engine. The injection nozzles are electrically controlled in accordance with engine operating conditions (N, .alpha.) by the use of injection control solenoid valves provided between the injection nozzles and the common rail. The fuel pump is electrically controlled in accordance with the engine operating conditions by the use of a spill control solenoid valve which spills the pressurized fuel to a low pressure fuel channel so that loss of engine torque required by the pump is reduced.
