Mounting device for mounting fuel injection valves

A mounting device for mounting a plurality of fuel injectors and a fuel distribution line on a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, the fuel injectors directly injecting a fuel into a combustion chamber of the internal combustion chamber, the device comprising:

• a plurality of spring elements, each of the plurality of spring elements extending between an associated one of a first plurality of spring retainers of the fuel distribution line and an associated one of a second plurality of spring retainers of a corresponding one of the fuel injectors;
• and
• a mounting-bracket arranged with respect to the plurality of fuel injectors, the mounting-bracket extending from a mounting-bracket receiver of the fuel distribution line to each one of a plurality mounting-bracket receivers associated with the fuel injectors, wherein:
• the fuel distribution line and the fuel injectors are braced against each other such that the fuel distribution line is held in a force-locking contact with the mounting-bracket receiver associated therewith and each one of the fuel injectors is held in a force-locking contact with a corresponding one of the plurality of mounting-bracket receivers associated therewith, and
• after each one of the plurality of spring elements is placed under a compressive force the mounting-bracket becomes removable.
