Abstract (en)

A fuel supply system for supplying fuel to an engine has a common rail (11) and injectors (14,15,16) which are located inside a housing (17), e.g. a rocker cover, of the engine. The injectors (14,15,16) are mounted directly on the common rail (11) rather than being connected to the common rail (11) by connection lines. <IMAGE>
