Abstract: A pump-line-nozzle fuel injection system in which a low pressure supply pump is coupled to a high pressure in-line pump having a plurality of pumping cylinders, each of which has a cam-driven timing plunger and a floating metering plunger. During the retraction stroke, flow to a timing chamber formed between the pistons is controlled by a first solenoid valve while the fuel flow into a metering chamber is controlled by a second solenoid valve. During metering, the discharge side of the pump is closed relative to a high pressure delivery line by a delivery valve. During the compression stroke, return flow is precluded by check valves in the supply lines to the timing and metering cylinders.
