Abstract

A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines is proposed wherein control over the injected fuel quantity is exercised by regulating the outlet (C) of a second relief line (33) of the working space (5) of the fuel injection pump by means of a control edge (25) positionable as a function of load and/or speed in the part-load range, and optionally of the first outlet cross-sectional area (D), displaced along the stroke, of a first relief line (15). In full-load operation, the effective length of the delivery stroke is limited by opening a relief opening (E) carried by the pumping plunger at a control edge (9). To obtain delivery at reduced fuel injection rate, especially at no load or low load, over as long a stroke length (h.sub.L) as possible, fuel-quantity control is effected, first, with respect to the duration of injection, by means of the control edge (25) which controls the outlet (C), and secondly, by opening, at a constant point along the stroke, the relief opening (E). The leakage rate per plunger stroke can be predetermined by means of a throttle (34) located at the outlet (E).
