Abstract
A fuel injection system having a fuel reservoir, a high-pressure fuel pump by which fuel is pumped into the fuel reservoir as a function of engine operating parameters, a prefeed pump by which fuel is pumped from a fuel tank to the intake side of the high-pressure fuel pump, a fuel metering device for adjusting the fuel quantity pumped into the fuel reservoir by the high-pressure fuel pump, and at least one injector, communicating with the fuel reservoir, for fuel injection to the engine. The metering device is disposed between the fuel tank and the intake side of the prefeed pump. The high-pressure fuel pump has a drive region, which for the sake of its lubrication can be made to communicate with the outlet of the prefeed pump, via a pressure valve that opens towards the drive region.
