Abstract: A fuel distributor is provided which is capable of distributing fuel through plural fuel injection lines to the corresponding cylinders of a multicylinder internal combustion engine and which includes a distributor housing including a supply inlet passage, a plurality of fuel injection outlet passages and a plurality of distributor valves for providing sequential periodic fluidic communication between the supply inlet passage and the outlet passages. Each distributor valve, which may be cam-actuated or solenoid-actuated, is adapted to be placed in an open position to define a fuel injection period during which high pressure fuel may flow through the distributor valve to the respective engine cylinder and a closed position blocking fuel flow through the respective fuel injection outlet passage.
