Which injector type merges the fuel pump and nozzle into a single unit?

• A. Direct Injector
• B. Unit Injector
• C. Pintle Injector
• D. Two-Stage Injector

Answer: (B)

Unit injectors merge the fuel pump and nozzle into a single unit. This design places the pump and the injector needle in one housing for each cylinder, so fuel is pressurized and delivered directly into the combustion chamber at the precise moment it’s needed. The integrated setup provides high-pressure delivery and accurate timing without a separate pump feeding a separate injector. Direct injectors use a separate high-pressure pump to feed the injector, with the nozzle not integrated with the pump. Pintle injectors refer to a specific nozzle tip design rather than how the pump and nozzle are combined. Two-stage injectors involve multiple injection stages rather than combining pump and nozzle into one assembly.
