Abstract: A fuel injection system for internal combustion engines having a high-pressure fuel reservoir supplied from a high-pressure fuel pump. The high-pressure fuel reservoir takes the form of a hollow sphere, which is welded together from two forged hollow hemispheres. Fastening elements formed in a forging operation are used to secure the high-pressure fuel reservoir in a vehicle.

Abstract: A security device in which a cap-shaped element is mounted covering essential functional and/or adjusting elements of a fuel delivery device. The cap-shaped element is connected to the parts of the fuel delivery device that it encloses in such a way that gaining access to the parts or to removing the cap-shaped element is only possible through destructive means and that when a particular destructive force is exceeded, a fracture occurs at a rated break point by means of which a functional or adjusting element or the defining wall that carries this element is fractured in relation to a fuel-carrying space of the fuel delivery device.

Abstract: In a process and in a device for monitoring a fuel delivery system, in particular a common rail system for a diesel engine, a defect in the delivery system is found when a signal from a temperature sensor and/or a pressure sensor deviates from a predetermined value.

Abstract: A fuel injection pump including a housing having an adjustable coupling device on the outside of the housing by which the speed governor can be adjusted from outside the housing of the fuel injection pump. By use of the adjustable coupling device on the outside of the housing, it is possible to eliminate production-oriented parts tolerances by means of adjustments of the speed governor, without tampering with its internal conditions.

Abstract: A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines comprising a pump plunger displaceable in a pump cylinder for delivering fuel to a plurality of injection locations, and elements for controlling fuel injection quantity. The controlling elements include a relief channel in the pump plunger for communicating a pump working space defined by the pump plunger with a relief chamber, an outlet port on an outer surface of the pump plunger for communicating the relief channel with the relief chamber, at least two connecting cross-sections of different shape for communicating the relief chamber with the outer port, and a slide valve displaceable along the outer surface of the plunger and having a control edge for controlling flow of fuel through the connecting cross-sections during a delivery stroke of the pump plunger.

Abstract: An rpm governor for internal combustion engines having two cooperating levers pivotable about a shaft and engaged at one end by at least one governor spring and, counter to this force, by at least one rpm signal transducer is proposed. An idling spring engages one of the two levers, and its other end is adjustably disposed in the governor housing. As a result, a very fine idling adjustment is attainable, independently of the conventional governor springs, and so a "hole" in the engine torque during a transition from overrunning to loaded operation is avoided.
