Abstract
An oil activated fuel injector which provides a pilot quantity of fuel prior to the main fuel injection event. The oil activated fuel injector includes a throttle which provides fluid communication between the high pressure chamber and a fuel bore which leads to the nozzle of the oil activated fuel injector. The pilot quantity of fuel flows through the throttle and into the fuel bore during a pre stroke of the plunger. The oil activated fuel injector reduces engine emissions and noise, and eliminates the need for additional working fluid to be provided therein in order to provide a pilot quantity of fuel.
