Abstract
A pump/injector arrangement comprises a pump including a pump chamber arranged to communicate through a fuel line with an injector. A valve is provided within the injector to control whether or not fuel is able to flow from the fuel line to a control chamber. The control chamber communicates with a low pressure reservoir through a restricted passage. A by-pass is provided to permit fuel to flow from the reservoir by-passing the restricted passage.
