Abstract: Diesel fuel injection system in which a standing high-pressure wave is maintained in the common rail and which utilizes injectors which function as gates or valves. Electronic controls sensitive to engine demands based on speed and load electronically control the injectors to vary both moment and duration of fuel injection time. Input signals, as determined by engine speed by way of the distributor, vary the injection timing according to an advance curve at the distributor correlated to piston position. Duration of the injection cycle (quantity of fuel injected) is controlled electronically and variably in relation to throttle position.
