Patent attributes
A fuel injector having an injector body defining a hollow interior configured to receive pressurized fuel, a first nozzle configured for providing a first fuel spray pattern, and a second nozzle configured for providing a second fuel spray pattern different from the first fuel spray pattern. The first and second nozzles may be configured to inject fuel supplied from a common source into a combustion space. The fuel injector may further include first and second needle valve members corresponding to the first and second nozzles, respectively. The first and second needle valve members may be positioned within the hollow interior of the injector body, with the second needle valve member being spaced from, but adjacent to the first needle valve member.
