Fuel feed system

Abstract

A fuel feed system capable of feeding a fuel to fuel injection valves at a fuel pressure with improved stability is provided. A fuel feed system for an internal combustion engine including a fuel tank and a low-pressure pump for feeding the fuel in the fuel tank to fuel injection valves, is provided with a diaphragm type damper having a wave-shape cross section at a position in contact with the fuel. Also, in a high-pressure fuel feed pump including a pressurizing chamber for pressurizing the fuel, a plunger for pumping the fuel within the pressurizing chamber, an intake valve provided at a fuel inlet of the pressurizing chamber, a discharge valve provided at a fuel outlet of the pressurizing chamber, and a low-pressure chamber provided in an upstream of the intake valve, a mechanism for reducing fuel pressure pulsation is disposed in a space of the low-pressure chamber provided in the upstream of the intake valve, and a fuel pressure sensor for measuring the fuel pressure is mounted near the mechanism for reducing fuel pressure pulsation.
