A fuel pump for a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine includes a pump housing and a fastening section which is present on the pump housing for fastening the fuel pump to a base, in particular an engine block. The fastening section has a through opening for receiving a holding element for a fastening means, in particular a screw. At least one radially inwardly directed projection is present at least in an end region of the through opening, the end region facing the base in the installed position.

Fuel pump

A component for a fuel injection system, in particular a high-pressure fuel injection system, includes a base body which is implemented in a tube-shaped manner at least sectionally. A tubular section of the base body is implemented having a longitudinal bending along a longitudinal axis of the tubular section which perpendicularly intersects the cross sections of the tubular section. At the longitudinal bending of the tubular section, the base body is implemented in such way that an ovality of the cross sections of the tubular section is reduced and/or smaller than 8% at the longitudinal bending.

Component for a fuel injection system and method for manufacturing a component of a fuel injection system

A fitting for making a metal-to-metal fluid seal between a first conduit and a second conduit and corresponding first and second fluid passages. The first conduit has a generally spherical-shaped exterior surface, and the second conduit has a generally conical-shaped interior surface for receiving the generally spherical-shaped exterior surface of the first conduit. A nut is engaged with a threaded exterior surface of the second conduit, tightening of the nut on the threaded exterior surface urging the first and second conduits axially together to apply increasing pressure. A ring can be positioned between the nut and the first conduit, the ring providing a lower net coefficient of friction during tightening of the nut compared to direct contact between the nut and first conduit. The ring can be radially spaced from a radially facing interior surface of the nut.
