Abstract

A fuel injection apparatus with pilot injection and main injection in Diesel engines is proposed. A high-pressure injection pump delivers a main injection quantity to a main injection nozzle, while a hydraulic pilot injection auxiliary pump driven by the supply pressure of the high-pressure injection pump positively displaces a pilot injection quantity, via a piston, and delivers it to a pilot injection nozzle which is either separate or combined with the main injection nozzle. In the main injection area, a storage piston is separately provided, which without being mechanically connected to the pilot injection piston and without a pressure division is initially acted upon solely by the supply pressure of the high-pressure injection pump and only in the course of the pilot injection piston stroke is a line leading on to the storage piston opened up, at least indirectly, for the pumped fuel.
