Abstract
A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine. The system includes an injector assembly for injecting fuel under pressure into the combustion chamber of an engine. The system also includes an intensifier assembly for intensifying the pressure of the fuel supplied to the injector assembly. This is incorporated in the cylinder head or attached to the cylinder head or an engine valve cover of the engine remote from the injector assembly. Intensified fuel passes from the intensifier assembly to the injector assembly via a conduit. This arrangement of injector assembly, intensifier assembly and fuel conduit reduces the over cylinder space required, particularly for a cylinder head arrangement with vertically projecting injector assemblies.
