A fuel injection system has a fuel supply line which extends from a fuel reservoir to a fuel injector through a booster and is hydraulically isolated from a hydraulic circuit for operating the booster and a hydraulic circuit for operating a nozzle needle actuator, which is operatively associated with the fuel injector to control fuel injection. The two hydraulic circuits share a common source of hydraulic fluid supply which is independent of the fuel reservoir and adapted to actuate general hydraulic units. An electronically operated pressure control valve is controlled by a control unit to drive the booster with a hydraulic fluid pressure which varies in proportion to a varying engine load, i.e. full load, partial load and no load.

A fuel injection system comprising: a source of fuel supply; a booster operated by a pressure differential between opposite ends thereof to compress fuel fed from the source of fuel supply to one end thereof, the fuel developing a first hydraulic fluid pressure; a fuel injector for injecting a supply of compressed fuel from the booster; a nozzle needle actuator operatively associated with the fuel injector and operated by a pressure differential between opposite ends thereof to start and terminate a fuel injection from the fuel injector; a source of hydraulic fluid supply; first hydraulic circuit means for producing a predetermined level of hydraulic fluid pressure and communicated with the source of hydraulic fluid supply; a pressure control means for controlling the predetermined hydraulic fluid pressure in the first hydraulic circuit means and supplying the controlled pressure to the other end of the booster through a first direction control means as a second hydraulic fluid pressure; second hydraulic circuit means for selectively communicating through a second direction control means one end of the nozzle needle actuator to the first hydraulic circuit means and the source of hydraulic fluid supply; a third hydraulic circuit means for selectively communicating through a third direction control means the other end of the nozzle needle actuator to the source of hydraulic fluid supply when said one end is communicated to the first hydraulic circuit means and to the first hydraulic circuit means when said one end is communicated to the source of hydraulic fluid supply; and a control means for controlling the output pressure of the pressure control means and the states of the first to third direction control means.
