Abstract

A fuel distribution rail for a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine has connected base tube sections defining a longitudinal fuel channel with connector devices fixed on the base tube and a force relieving groove provided on the outer surface of the base tube sections spaced from the connector devices which extend over at least a part, preferably at least over a greater part of the outer surface of the base tube. In one form a cylindrical base tube has a circular force relieving groove surrounding the base tube spaced from the connector device.
