Abstract

A fuel distributor for supplying fuel to a plurality of fuel injection valves of the top feed type, in which the inlet and the return necks are disposed on one end of the fuel distributor, so that mounting of the fuel distributor is simplified and the space required is reduced. A connection cap having a return neck is disposed on the distributor housing, and a central pressure regulator is disposed on its face end on a second end. The pressure regulator and the return neck of the connection cap communicate with one another through a central return line extending within the distributor housing. The fuel distributor is especially suitable for fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing internal combustion engines externally supplied with ignition, for supplying fuel to a plurality of fuel injection valves.
