Claims6
A fuel injection apparatus of an engine, the fuel injection apparatus comprising:
- a high pressure fuel source capable of supplying a high pressure fuel;
- a low pressure fuel source capable of supplying a fuel at a pressure lower than a fuel pressure of the high pressure fuel source;
- switching means;
- an injector connected to the high pressure fuel source and the low pressure fuel source via the switching means;
- and
- controlling means for controlling switching of the fuel sources by the switching means and operation of the injector;
- wherein the controlling means switches the fuel source for supplying the fuel to the injector from the high pressure fuel source to the low pressure fuel source a predetermined time period earlier from a point of time when the injector finishes an injection of the high pressure fuel.
