A fluidic throttling valve for controlling flow in a pipe or conduit of a high density fluid, such as a liquid, by injecting a lower density fluid, such as an inert gas, into the pipe. In the preferred embodiment shown herein, this control gas is injected into a pipeline leading to a combustion engine to control the quantity of liquid flowing through that pipeline. The control gas is injected through a slot extending completely around the circumference of the pipe. The gas is injected at the throat section of a venturi constructed in the pipe to define a point of minimal cross-sectional area.
