A devices for pumping fuel has at least one suction jet pump and a drive line, supplying the suction jet pump with fuel, that branches off from a pressure line leading to an internal combustion engine and that can be blocked off by means of a shutoff valve. By means of a shutoff valve, it is possible to switch off the suction jet pumps. The pressure of the pressure line acts on the shutoff valve in such a way that the shutoff valve closes at a pressure that is greater than or equal to a predetermined closing pressure.

Device for pumping fuel

A fuel supply system is provided for delivering fuel from a tank to an engine of a motor vehicle through a fuel line. The system is provided with a pressure relief valve to divert fuel from the fuel line during engine shut down conditions when fuel flow to the engine is not desired. The pressure relief valve has a fuel outlet that is provided with backpressure during engine operation. The backpressure enables the pressure relief valve to be set at a lower level because the backpressure is added to set point pressure to determine opening of the pressure relief valve. Lowering the set point of the pressure relief valve allows fuel to be diverted from the engine at a lower fuel line pressure. In one embodiment backpressure is provided by fluid communication from a jet pump supplying fuel from the fuel tank to a fuel system reservoir.

Fuel system with pressure regulation and pressure relief

A fuel injector for fuel-injection systems of internal combustion engines includes two preassembled, independent assemblies. A functional part includes an electromagnetic circuit and a sealing valve, while a connection part is formed mainly by a hydraulic connection and an electrical connection. In the ready-mounted injector, electrical connecting elements and hydraulic connecting elements of both assemblies cooperate, thus ensuring a reliable electrical and hydraulic connection An extrusion coat in the interconnection region provides mechanical joining of both assemblies, great stability of the valve and sufficient imperviousness.
