Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0248532A1] The invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine (10), especially an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. The inventive method is characterized by delivering the fuel from a storage tank (28) to a fuel line (20, 24, 26, 34) by means of a fuel pump (22, 32). The pressure of the fuel is increased at least in a zone (26) of the fuel line (20, 24, 26, 34) in accordance with an operational state. The pressure of the fuel is at least temporarily increased in said zone (26) of the fuel line (20, 24, 26, 34) in an idle state of the internal combustion engine (10) in order to prevent starting difficulties of the internal combustion engine (10).
