A non-return valve assembly for a high-pressure fuel injection system is disclosed. The valve comprises a valve chamber defined in part by a first body and in part by a second body and defining a valve chamber wall, an inlet passage formed in the first body and opening into the valve chamber at a valve seat defined by the first body, an outlet passage, and a valve ball received within the valve chamber and engageable with the valve seat so as to interrupt fluid flow from the outlet passage to the inlet passage through the valve chamber. The valve chamber wall comprises a plurality of guide portions to guide the valve ball in substantially linear movement within the valve chamber.

A pipe section of a common rail line is provided for the high-pressure injection of a fluid. The pipe section has at least a first pipe and an adapter in which the first pipe has a wall and extends at least along an axial direction. The wall has an inner circumferential surface and an outer circumferential surface and encloses a first line. The adapter has a connector piece and a second pipe. The connector piece extends annularly around the first pipe and is situated on the outer circumferential surface. A second line that is formed by the second pipe is fluidically connected to the first line via a first opening in the first pipe and a second opening in the connector piece. At least the adapter is manufactured by a metal powder injection molding process. Two methods for manufacturing a pipe section are also provided.

An electronic fuel injection throttle body unit has a core body with two side components. The two side components each including a fuel delivery passage. Four air intake passages extending vertically through the throttle body. Valves are rotatable within the air intake passages. The valves being connected to valve shafts that rotate about respective valve shaft axes. The valve shaft axes and the fuel delivery passages are perpendicular to each other.

A pressure damping device for a fluid circuit includes a lower body having a fluid inlet port and a fluid outlet port. An upper cover attaches to the body. An elastically deformable membrane is interposed between the body and the cover, and a circular cup is arranged on the membrane. A spring is interposed between the cup and a bottom of the cover. The body includes a support member for supporting the membrane, with the support member projecting from the first bottom and including a free upper end on which the membrane is adapted to be supported.

A fuel line check valve system and a fuel system that includes the fuel line diaphragm valve system are described. The fuel line diaphragm valve system may prevent flow into a fuel system that is generated via a vacuum in the fuel system. The fuel line diaphragm valve may also remain in an open state after it is open via a reduced pressure.

A multipoint fuel injection system comprises an injection system segment including a circumferentially extending outer support defining a fuel manifold with a plurality of manifold passages extending circumferentially therethrough. A first connector is included at a first circumferential end of the outer support and a second connector is included at a second circumferential end of the outer support opposite the first circumferential end. The first and second connectors are each configured to connect each manifold passage with a manifold passages of a respective outer support of a circumferentially adjacent injection system segment. The system includes a circumferentially extending inner support and a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart feed arms extending radially between the inner support and the outer support. A plurality of outlet openings extend in an axial direction from each feed arm for feeding respective injection nozzles.

A fuel distributor which has a pressure accumulator rail for receiving pressurized fuel. The pressure accumulator rail has a forged base body. Mounting supports are joined to the base body by substance bonding. A mounting support is formed by two metal brackets each configured as a sheet-metal formed part. Each metal bracket has a holding portion adapted to the outer contour of the base body, a leg angled relative to the holding portion, and a mounting flange on the free end of the leg and angled away therefrom. A length portion of the base body is received between the holding portions. The holding portions partially surround the base body. The base body and the holding portions are joined by substance bonding. The legs of the two metal brackets lie next to each other at least in regions and are also joined together by substance bonding.

Four air intake passages extending vertically through the throttle body. Valves are rotatable within the air intake passages. The valves being connected to valve shafts that rotate about respective valve shaft axes. The valve shaft axes and the fuel delivery passages are perpendicular to each other.

A fuel system includes a fuel injector having an inlet conduit which extends along an inlet conduit axis and has an inlet conduit shoulder which is traverse to the inlet conduit axis. A fuel distribution conduit supplies fuel to the fuel injector, extends along a fuel distribution conduit axis, and has external threads which threadably engage internal threads of a connection nut. The connection nut has an internal shoulder which is traverse to the fuel distribution conduit axis. A retention member is a segment of an annulus and includes a central passage extending axially therethrough. The retention member is terminated in a direction circumferentially about the fuel distribution conduit axis by first and second end surfaces which together form a retention member slot therebetween sized to permit the inlet conduit to pass therethrough in a direction perpendicular to the fuel distribution conduit axis.
