Cylinder head for an internal combustion engine with fuel injection

A cylinder head for a fuel injected internal combustion engine comprising a nozzle holder with a fuel injection nozzle mounted in said cylinder head, said cylinder head further having a cylindrical recess accommodating a pressure tube, which extends to said nozzle holder and is engaged therewith and which has a conical sealing surface at the nozzle holder end, and said nozzle holder having a matching surface with which said conical surface is in contact, a compression screw mounted in said cylindrical recess at the outer end thereof and engaging said pressure tube and axially clamping it with its remote inner end against said matching contact surface on said nozzle holder for sealingly engaging and appropriately locating said nozzle holder, said pressure tube extending through and outwardly beyond said compression screw, with its free end projecting from the compression screw and provided with a union nut by which an injection pipe is clamped to said pressure tube so as to form a seal therewith, said cylindrical recess having a diameter larger than said pressure tube so as to form an annular intermediate space around said pressure tube which is in communication with a fuel leakage passage originating from said injection nozzle, and said cylinder head including a leakage fuel collection passage and a leakage fuel connecting passage extending between said leakage fuel collection passage and said annular intermediate space so as to provide for communication between said collection passage and said annular intermediate space for the collection of leakage fuel from said injection nozzle.
