Abstract
The supply device with built-in pipework comprises an air distributor/manifold module with a casing and a base element made from plastic or metal and which are fixed to one another. The base element has pipework branches emerging in the casing and in a flange for fixing on to the engine. The casing houses sensors and members for controlling operating parameters of the engine as well as a fuel rail and its regulator supplying injectors which are trapped between the base element and the casing. Components of the air, fuel, ignition and electrical supply circuits are built into the pipework.
