Abstract

In a fuel injection apparatus having an injection nozzle opening at predetermined pressure, to which fuel is deliverable under pressure, the injection nozzle chamber communicates with a fuel supply line with the interposition of a check valve closing outward; the pressure in the fuel supply line is lower than the opening pressure of the injection nozzle. Furthermore, the injection nozzle chamber communicates with a work chamber of a spring-loaded work piston, the displacement motion of which for increasing the pressure in the nozzle chamber above the opening pressure of the injection nozzle is effected by relieving a second work chamber of the spring-loaded work piston under the influence of spring force.
