<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an internal combustion engine reducing electric power consumption for operating a high pressure fuel pump supplying fuel to a delivery pipe and extending the lifetime of the high-pressure fuel pump. <P>SOLUTION: This internal combustion engine 100 includes two high-pressure fuel pumps 4 supplying fuel Fu to the delivery pipe 2. A normally open type valve is used for a spill valve 41f included in a first high-pressure fuel pump 41 and a normally close type valve is used for a spill valve 42f included in a second high-pressure fuel pump 42. When either of the first or second high-pressure fuel pump 41 or 42 is solely operated, a control device 9 stop the high-pressure fuel pump 4 if sole operation is biased to the high-pressure fuel pump 4. If sole operation is not biased, the high-pressure fuel pump 4 supplying fuel Fu to be injected into a cylinder 3 with low electric power consumption to the delivery pipe 2 is solely operated. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
