Abstract

A fuel line connector for producing recirculation of leakage fuel in a fuel injection valve in which communication of a fuel line with a connection bore of a housing, and with the holder of a fuel injection valve is produced. This is achieved by providing that the fuel line connector has elastically deformable retaining arms, which, after a connecting stub of the fuel line connector has been plugged into a connection bore, engage the housing that contains the connection bore from behind.
