Abstract
The invention is to provide a high pressure fuel injection pipe for a diesel engine wherein a fuel, leaked from a seat port is discharged to the outside of a head cover without leaking into the head cover so that a leakage of fuel can be promptly detected and is directed to the high pressure fuel injection pipe formed by abutting and engaging a pressure portion formed on a connecting head of a fuel injection pipe body to a pressure receiving seat portion of a counterpart member so as to provide a firm connection of the fuel injection pipe body to the counterpart member by screwing a fastening nut to press the connecting head to the counterpart member, wherein an annular washer having at least one groove or through hole formed in a radial direction on the circumference of the washer and a seal member is disposed in the vicinity of an outer end portion of a threaded engagement potion defined between the fastening nut and the counterpart member so that a fuel leaked into the inside of the fastening nut from a seat portion defined between the pressure seat portion formed on the connecting head and the pressure receiving seat of the counterpart member may be discharged to the outside th…
