Abstract
A fuel injection system for a Diesel engine, which is able to have a small space, a reduced number of parts, a light weight and an excellent maintainability by arranging such a common rail that eliminates the bracket structures for the common rail and the fuel feed pump and makes the fuel pipes short. The fuel injection system is constructed such that a common rail is mounted on a cylinder body, and such that a fuel feed pump is mounted to overlie said common rail, so that a fuel to be pumped by said fuel feed pump is injected into the combustion chambers of cylinders after it has been accumulated by the common rail.
