Apparatus for the distribution of measured quantities of liquid fuel into the induction tracts of a multi-cylinder spark ignition internal combustion engine in which a single fuel metering device (33) is arranged to deliver metered quantities of fuel in accordance with the requirements of the cylinders of the engine into a catchment chamber (21) from which passages (22, 23, 24, 25) extend, each passage connecting to a conduct (31, 32) extending to the induction tract of one cylinder. Gas under pressure is supplied to the catchment chamber in such an amount and in such a direction that discrete quantities of fuel are delivered in turn along the passages (22, 23, 24, 25) to the cylinders. Preferably, the introduction of gas under pressure is controlled by means of solenoid valves (38, 39), one for each cylinder the operation of which is controlled by a timing device. |
