Abstract: A clamping element for a fuel injector is provided that is insertable into a mounting hole of a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, and that directly injects fuel into a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine has a first step ring. This at least partially surrounds the fuel injector and has a valve pressure surface that may rest on the fuel injector. The first step ring has at least one circumferential slope surface on its side facing away from the valve pressure surface, which engages with a corresponding circumferential slope surface of a second step ring, which has a counterpressure surface. The slope surfaces are arranged so that the first step ring and the second step ring are pressed axially apart when they are rotated relatively to one another.

Abstract: A clamping element for a fuel injector (18) that is insertable into a mounting hole of a cylinder head (26) of an internal combustion engine and directly injects fuel into a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine has a first step ring (19). This at least partially surrounds the fuel injector (18) and has a valve pressure surface (20) that may rest on the fuel injector (18). The first step ring (19) has at least one circumferential slope surface (21) on its side facing away from the valve pressure surface (20), which engages with a corresponding circumferential slope surface (24) of a second step ring (22), which has a counterpressure surface (23). The slope surfaces (21, 24) are arranged so that the first step ring (19) and the second step ring (22) are pressed axially apart when they are rotated relatively to one another.

Abstract: In fuel delivery systems with two fuel pumps connected in series, two fuel distribution strips are provided in V-engines. Before now in this connection, there was the problem that in order to regulate the pressure in the two fuel distribution strips, a considerably high cost was required and/or the regulation of the pressure could not take place with the desired quality. In the fuel delivery system proposed here, a favorable pressure regulation in the two fuel distribution strips (21, 22) can be achieved by means of the one pressure control valve (30), with a minimum of rigid lines to be laid. The fuel delivery system is provided for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle.

Abstract: A device for attaching and securing a valve is particularly suited for fuel-injection systems of mixture-compressing internal combustion engines having externally supplied ignition. The device provides a twistable holding-down clamp which, together with an inner pressure element, prevents a fuel-injection valve from slipping and which, together with an outer fixing ring as a part of a bayonet catch, whose corresponding bayonet locking bars are constructed on the fuel distributor, ensures a simple and reliable attachment to the fuel distributor. The holding-down clamp is sealed by the sealing cap, which is set down on the holding-down clamp and through which the connecting cables also run. The fuel-injection valve does not have any functional elements for attaching in the valve-mount opening of the fuel distributor.

Abstract: Heating devices are used to prevent icing and deposition of fuel on the throttle valve under adverse operating conditions; these device comprise electrical resistance hot wires applied to the surface of the throttle valve, yet these wires lead to undesired turbulence in the fuel-air mixture flow. As the length of time in operation increases, the efficiency of the hot wires is lessened by corrosion of their surface. These disadvantages are avoided by integrating the heating device with the component to be heated. To this end, the heating device is disposed in an axial bore of the throttle valve shaft. This arrangement is used especially with mixture-compressing internal combustion engines equipped with carburetors or central injection systems.
