Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1519034A1] Fuel pressure acts on at least one of the two coupler sections (23, 24) such that it becomes axially shortened, whilst the gap (27) increases with increasing fuel pressure. The first coupling surface (28) is larger than the second coupling surface (29). The casing includes components compensating gap variation as a result of temperature changes.
