Abstract

The fuel injection apparatus has one fuel pump for each cylinder, which has a pump piston, driven by the engine, that defines a pump work chamber, which communicates via a line with a fuel injection valve, disposed on the engine separately from the fuel pump, which valve has an injection valve member, by which at least one injection opening is controlled, and which is movable in the opening direction, counter to a closing force, by the pressure generated in the pump work chamber; a first electrically triggered control valve controls a communication of the line with a relief chamber. A second electrically triggered control valve is also disposed on the fuel injection valve and controls the pressure prevailing in a control pressure chamber of the fuel injection valve, which pressure urges the injection valve member in the closing direction.
