    Abstract: A fuel injection system for a gaseous-fueled engine is provided. The engine comprises a plurality of cylinders each defining a combustion chamber and associated with at least one intake port in fluid communication with an intake manifold and separated from the combustion chamber by an intake valve operable between an open and closed position. The fuel injection system comprises at least one gaseous fuel injector for each of the engine cylinders, wherein each fuel injector is located proximate the intake manifold. A guide tube connects each of the gaseous fuel injectors to at least one of the intake ports. The guide tube comprises a fluid passage arranged within the respective intake port substantially tangent and adjacent to an interior wall of the intake port and directed toward the respective intake valve. The guide tube is adapted to deliver high-pressure gaseous fuel from the injector to the respective combustion chamber along the interior wall of the intake port.
