Fuel supply device for direct injection engine

摘要

A high-pressure fuel pump is provided for an internal combustion engine having an intake system and an exhaust system installed to the front and back of the engine, respectively. The fuel pump is located adjacent to a front upper part of the engine so as to be driven by a camshaft, but is positioned in an inclined position relative to the engine instead of a vertical position. This arrangement shifts the fuel pump backward in installing position with an effect of eliminating mechanical interference of the fuel pump with an engine compartment hood, and provides a long distance between the fuel pump and a dash panel behind the fuel pump with an effect of lowing energy of an impact applied to the fuel pump from the dash panel when the engine moves rearward due to a front-end collision.
