Abstract: A solenoid actuated fuel injector for liquified petroleum gas (LPG), compressed natural gas (CNG) or the like has a fuel passage therethrough and a valve to control the flow of fuel through the fuel passage. The valve has a valve head formed of a generally flexible and substantially resilient material engageable with a valve seat to prevent fuel flow through the injector. The valve is preferably spring biased to a closed position which compresses the valve head against the valve seat to prevent fuel flow between them. Compression of the valve head is preferably limited by contact between the metal valve body and the metal valve seat which limits the travel of the valve body relative to the valve seat. The valve head and valve seat are also constructed to be highly resistant to wear to provide a consistent seal between them.
