Abstract
A fuel injection pumping apparatus of the rotary distributor type has a fixed stroke pumping plunger housed in a bore formed in a rotary distributor member. The pumping plunger is actuated by cam lobes formed on a cam ring. A piston housed in a cylinder is provided and one end of the cylinder is connected to the bore. The piston is spring biased towards the one end of the cylinder and the extent of movement of the piston away from the one end of the cylinder is limited by a stop. The piston absorbs the initial volume of fuel delivered by the pumping plunger as the latter is moved inwardly by the cam lobes thereby ensuring that fuel is delivered to an associated engine at a high rate.
