Abstract
A fuel atomization assembly for a fuel injector includes a mounting member that slips over the end of the fuel injector having the injector nozzle. The mounting member includes a bore aligned with the fuel spray outlet in the nozzle and extending away therefrom. A fuel flow guide tube is received inside the bore, having a lesser diameter than the bore, and being perforated over a portion of its length, to better atomize the fuel stream leaving the injector nozzle. The fuel flow guide tube has an enlarged head sandwiched between the injector nozzle and the inlet to the bore in the mounting member.
