Abstract
A high-pressure fuel pump has a pressure-limiting valve, which fluidically connects a high-pressure region to a low-pressure region and opens towards the low-pressure region. The pressure-limiting valve is disposed in a pressure-limiting valve bore, which is designed as a through bore through the pump body, extends from a damping region to a stepped chamber, and is closed on the side facing the damping region by a pressed-in closure. The pressure-limiting valve bore is a stepped bore having a larger diameter first portion, a smaller diameter second portion, and an annular step between the first and second portions The pressure-limiting valve has a valve seat body pressed into the pressure-limiting valve bore, and a valve element, which is pushed in the closing direction by a holding element, which is pushed in the closing direction by a spiral spring, which is supported on the annular step.
