Abstract
In a fuel injection pump, flat sections are provided around a connecting segment located between an inner wall surface of a pump housing defining a fuel pressurizing chamber and an inner wall surface of a fuel intake passage as well as a connecting segment located between the wall surface of the pump housing and an inner wall surface of a fuel discharge passage to spread stresses concentrated in upper and lower intersecting points of each connecting segment over an entire periphery of the connecting segment. As a result, the strength of the fuel injection pump is improved to allow use of higher fuel injection pressures. Furthermore, the strength of the fuel injection pump is improved without increasing a wall thickness of the pump housing, so that a size of the fuel injection pump is not increased.
