Abstract
In a fuel injector for a direct-injection internal combustion engine comprising an injection nozzle, on the circumference of which a plurality of injection orifices are arranged so as to line up with one another, to form an orifice arrangement for the formation of an essentially conical fuel cloud from the individual fuel jets of the respective injection orifices the nozzle orifice locations are displaced so as to form a recess in the jet envelope in an area where a spark plug is located into which the spark plug extends so as to safely ignite the fuel cloud without getting wetted by the fuel.
