Abstract
A fuel distributor for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines has a distributor housing having a plurality of location holes, connected to each other by a fuel supply line, for accommodating electromagnetically actuated fuel injection valves, a hold-down firmly clamped on the distributor housing, for fixing the fuel injection valves in the location holes, and fixing means for fixing the distributor housing to the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine. For the noise decoupling of the fuel distributor from the adjacent add-on pieces, a noise-decoupling flat gasket is placed between the distributor housing and the hold-down on the one hand and the fixing means are formed by rubber-metal elements on the other hand. If the fuel distributor is made of plastic, the rubber-metal elements are preferably made of a clamping bolt, a metallic distance sleeve and a resilient sleeve, which are arranged coaxially in the sequence mentioned and pass through through holes in the distributor housing and hold-down.
