Abstract
A device () providing a combined fuel injection and ignition means for a spark-ignition internal combustion engine. The device () comprises a insulator body () of ceramic material, a fuel flow path () having a section thereof encased in the insulator body () and terminating at a delivery port () disposed outwardly of the insulator body (), and, an ignition path () having a section encased in the insulator body () in a spaced apart relationship with respect to the section of the fuel path (). The fuel path () is defined within a valve structure () detachably secured to the insulator body () so as to be selectively removable therefrom. The ignition path () terminates at an electrode () disposed outwardly of the insulator body (). The insulator body has a nose portion () and a skirt portion () beyond the delivery port (). The nose () and the delivery port () are positioned relative to each other such that all or at least part of the fuel spray issuing from the delivery port () avoids impingement on the nose ().
