Abstract
A fuel injection system is used for direct injection of fuel into the combustion chambers of an internal combustion engine. This fuel injection system has at least one fuel injector for each combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine which can be inserted at one spray section into a respective mounting hole provided on a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine and which has a fuel inlet orifice. In addition, there is a fuel distributor line having for each fuel injector a fuel outlet orifice connectable to the fuel inlet orifice of the fuel injector and being attachable to the cylinder head by mounting devices provided for each fuel injector. A hold-down device is provided for each fuel injector for holding down the fuel injector in the respective mounting hole of the cylinder head. Each hold-down device is connected to the respective mounting device. Each mounting, device has a first tightening element for mounting the fuel distributor line on the cylinder head and a second tightening element for applying a hold-down force to the respective fuel injector.
