Abstract: A fuel distributor, which is used in particular for fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing spark ignition internal combustion engines, includes a tubular base body, a first holder and a second holder. The first holder is connected here to the tubular base body at a first fastening point of the tubular base body. The second holder is also connected to the tubular base body at a second fastening point of the tubular base body. The tubular base body has at least one bend at least between the first fastening point and the second fastening point. A base body having a meandering pattern may be implemented in this way, enabling adjustment of thermal changes in the length of a cylinder head on which the fuel distributor is mounted.

The outer core includes a strip-shaped element of thickness, length and width, and is situated around the inner core in such a way that the strip-shaped element is positioned at the faces of the inner core with its thickness perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the inner core.

Abstract: An ignition coil for an internal combustion engine has a core, which is provided with a plastic extrusion coat on its periphery. The core is concentrically surrounded by a secondary coil and a primary coil. The plastic extrusion coat of the core is used as a coil shell for the secondary coil so that it is possible to dispense with a separate secondary coil shell. The ignition coil therefore has an especially compact design.

In order to fill in the gaps between the components in the ignition coil housing using a cast resin used as insulation, the invention provides to introduce the latter either by a hollow needle or a riser directly into the bottom region of the ignition coil housing. The method described herein allows for a homogeneous material distribution of the cast resin and avoids inclusions of foreign particles or gases in the ignition coil housing.
