In a common rail (1) for accumulating highly pressured fuel, a cylindrical body (20) is provided with a chamber (25) for accumulating highly pressured fuel and a delivery port (26) which connects the chamber (25) to the outer circumference thereof and communicates via a pipe-joining unit (21) with a conduit (28) in a distribution pipe (6, 7). The longitudinal center axes (A, B) of the chamber (25) and the cylindrical body (20) are disposed substantially coaxially with each other, and each of the longitudinal center axes (D) of the delivery ports (26) and the longitudinal center axis (B) of the cylindrical body (20) are skewed to each other. Accordingly, the durability of the cylindrical body (20) is improved, and the thickness of the cylindrical body (20) is uniform and the forging form of the cylindrical body (20) becomes symmetric. The length of the delivery port (26) is extended so that the durability of the cylindrical body (20) is improved.
