  Fuel injection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fuel injection atomizes the fuel by forcibly pumping it through a small nozzle under high pressure, but a carburetor relies on the vacuum created by intake air rushing through it to add the fuel to the airstream.
There are other benefits associated with fuel injection, such as better atomization of the fuel in the intake (constant-choke carburetors have poor atomization at low air speeds, needing modifications such as sequential twin-barrel designs) and better breathing due to eliminating the carburetor's venturi.
The fuel distributor is mounted atop a control vane through which all intake air must pass, and the system works by varying fuel volume supplied to the injectors based on the angle of the air vane, which in turn is determined by the volume flowrate of air past the vane.

 Automotive Tutorial - Electronic Fuel Injection
The fuel is delivered to the engine in precise quantities and in most cases is injected into the inlet manifold to await the valve's opening, then drawn into the combustion chamber by the incoming air.
This type of high-pressure fuel pump (Fig 1.0) is called a roller cell pump, with the fuel entering the pump and being compressed by rotating cells which force it through the pump at a high pressure.
When the fuel pump is activated, fuel flows into the system until the required pressure is obtained; at this point 'excess' fuel is bled past the pressure regulator and back into the tank.
