Abstract
A fuel injection type internal combustion engine provided with a pressure regulator for controlling a constant difference between a pressure of fuel supplied to the injector and a pressure of the intake system at the position where the injector is mounted. A tank is arranged for storing a positive pressure obtained while the engine is operated. A switching valve is arranged for connecting the tank with the pressure regulator when the engine is started when hot. Due to the operation of the regulator for maintaining the constant pressure difference, the pressure of the fuel supplied to the fuel injector is increased, making it difficult for the fuel to vaporize. Thus, preventing a so-called vapor lock.
