Abstract

A fuel injection apparatus for an internal combustion engine and comprising a fuel injection pump, a fuel delivery pump for communicating fuel from a fuel tank to the suction chamber of the fuel injection pump, and cut-off device for cutting off the fuel flow to the injection nozzles of the internal combustion engine in case of a disturbance, said cut-off device comprising a spring-loaded accumulator connected with the suction chamber of the fuel injection pump and an electromagnetically actuated control valve for effecting a rapid cut-off, said control valve communicating the outlet of the delivery pump with the fuel tank in case of a disturbance, whereby the accumulator provides for reduction of pressure in the suction chamber of the fuel injection pump so that fuel does not flow to the internal combustion engine.
