FUEL-PUMPING DEVICE FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, AND A METHOD FOR PUMPING FUEL IN A FUEL-PUMPING DEVICE

The invention relates to a fuel-pumping device () for a fuel injection device of an internal combustion engine with a large high-pressure pump () and a small high-pressure pump () arranged in parallel, wherein fuel can be pumped by the large high-pressure pump () and by the small high-pressure pump () from a low-pressure region () into a high-pressure region (). The high-pressure region () is connected to at least one injector (). A control device () is provided, which can be used to conduct the entire pump output of the large high-pressure pump () or the small high-pressure pump () into the low-pressure region () via a discharge line ().
