A fuel injection nozzle for supplying fuel to a compression ignition engine includes a valve member slidable within a bore, a seating in the bore and the valve member being shaped to co-operate with the seating. An extension is carried by the valve member and is slidable in a guide bore extending from the seating to the exterior of the nozzle. The extension has an outlet chamber into which opens a first passage through which fuel can flow as soon as the valve member is lifted from the seating and a second passage through which fuel can flow with increasing quantity as the valve member lifts from the seating. The first passage causes swirling of fuel in the chamber and produces a bushy fuel spray and the fuel flowing through the second passage progressively cancels the swirling to produce a penetrative jet of fuel.

A fuel injection nozzle for supplying fuel to a combustion chamber of a compression ignition engine, comprising a bore, a seating defined in the bore and a valve member shaped for co-operation with the seating and movable away from the seating by the action of fuel under pressure supplied to the bore, to allow fuel flow through an outlet, a guide bore extending from said seating to the exterior of the nozzle, an extension on said valve member, said extension being slidable within said guide bore, a chamber defined in said extension, said chamber having an open end defining the outlet to the exterior of the nozzle, a first flow passage in the extension, said first flow passage opening into said chamber at a position so that fuel flowing therethrough when the valve member is lifted from its seating will swirl in one direction in said chamber, thereby to cause the fuel spray leaving said outlet to be of bushy form, and a second flow passage in the extension, said second flow passage being arranged to be progressively uncovered as the valve member moves away from the seating, said second flow passage being disposed so that fuel flowing therethrough cancels the swirl produced by the first flow passage thereby to cause the fuel to leave said outlet in the form of a jet.
