When a damage in a high pressure line of a fuel pressure control system for a high pressure fuel injection engine is detected the fuel pressure is reduced to prevent fuel from blowing out of the damaged part. An acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor is compared with a set value. When the detected acceleration exceeds the set value, the system determines that such an emergency as a collision has happened, fully opens a solenoid type high pressure regulator provided downstream of the high pressure line of fuel system and stops the operation of a feed pump provided in a low pressure delivery line. Thereupon, the feed pump stops delivering the fuel to a high pressure fuel pump. On the other hand, the high pressure regulator is in a fully opened position. Thus, the fuel pressure in the high pressure line is relieved to a fuel tank. Therefore, even if a strong impact due to a collision gives damages to the high pressure line, the system can prevent the fuel from blowing out of the damaged part since the fuel pressure in the high pressure line has been already reduced.
