A fuel system serves to supply fuel to an internal combustion engine includes a reservoir and a first fuel pump whose input is connected to the reservoir and a second fuel pump whose input is connected to the first fuel pump. At least one injection valve is connected to the second fuel pump and can supply fuel at least indirectly to a combustion chamber. A leakage line is provided between the second fuel pump and the reservoir. In order to permit a reliable hot start of the engine with a simultaneously low strain on the components, the leakage line is provided with a valve device which has a shutoff function and a pressure relief function that are connected in parallel with each other.

1. A fuel system ( 10 ) for supplying fuel ( 18 ) from a reservoir ( 16 ) to an internal combustion engine, comprisinga reservoir ( 16 ),a first fuel pump ( 20 ) whose input is connected to the reservoir ( 16 ),a second fuel pump ( 38 ) whose input is connected to the first fuel pump ( 20 ),at least one injection valve ( 50 ), which is connected to the second fuel pump ( 38 ) and can supply fuel ( 18 ) at least indirectly into a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine,a leakage line provided between the second fuel pump and the reservoir, anda valve device ( 70 ) in the leakage line ( 68 ),the valve device ( 70 ) including a shutoff function ( 72 ) and a pressure relief function ( 74 ) that are connected in parallel with each other. 2. The fuel system ( 10 ) according to claim 1, wherein the same valve element ( 88 ) is used for both functions ( 72 , 74 ) in the valve device ( 70 ). 3. The fuel system ( 10 ) according to claim 1 wherein the shutoff function ( 72 ) of the valve device ( 70 ) can be electrically triggered. 4. The fuel system ( 10 ) according to claim 3, wherein the valve device ( 70 ) comprises a valve element ( 88 ) that is prestressed ( 94 ) to perform the pressure relief function ( 74 ) and can be electrically actuated counter to the prestressing force in order to disable the shutoff function ( 72 ). 5. The fuel system ( 10 ) according to claim 1, wherein the valve device ( 70 ) is situated in the vicinity of the engine. 6. The fuel system ( 10 ) according to claim 4, wherein the valve device ( 70 ) is situated in the vicinity of the second fuel pump ( 38 ). 7. The fuel system ( 10 ) according to claim 1, wherein the valve device ( 70 ) is situated in the vicinity of the reservoir ( 16 ) and the second fuel pump ( 38 ) is provided with a bypass line ( 110 ) that contains a throttle restriction ( 112 ) and leads from the input of the second fuel pump ( 38 ) to the leakage line ( 68 ), and wherein the cross section of the throttle restriction ( 112 ) is selected so that during normal operation, the increase in the temperature of the fuel ( 18 ) in the reservoir ( 16 ) is less than a limit value. 8. The fuel system ( 10 ) according to claim 4, wherein the valve device ( 70 ) is situated in the vicinity of the reservoir ( 16 ) and the second fuel pump ( 38 ) is provided with a bypass line ( 110 ) that contains a throttle restriction ( 112 ) and leads from the input of the second fuel pump ( 38 ) to the leakage line ( 68 ), and wherein the cross section of the throttle restriction ( 112 ) is selected so that during normal operation, the increase in the temperature of the fuel ( 18 ) in the reservoir ( 16 ) is less than a limit value. 9. A method for operating the fuel system ( 10 ) according to claim 1, wherein the shutoff function ( 72 ) of the valve device ( 70 ) is activated immediately after the engine is turned off and is deactivated immediately after the engine is started. 10. The method according to claim 9, further comprising continuing to operate the first fuel pump ( 20 ) for a limited time after the engine is turned off. 11. The method according to claim 9, further comprising recording the parameters ( 60 , 62 , 64 , 66 ) relevant for a hot start of the engine, and triggering the first fuel pump ( 20 ) and/or the valve device ( 70 ) as a function of the recorded parameters. 12. The method according to claim 10, further comprising recording the parameters ( 60 , 62 , 64 , 66 ) relevant for a hot start of the engine, and triggering the first fuel pump ( 20 ) and/or the valve device ( 70 ) as a function of the recorded parameters. 13. The method according to claim 11, wherein the parameters ( 60 , 62 , 64 , 66 ) include a cooling water temperature ( 60 ) and/or an intake air temperature ( 62 ) and/or a speed ( 64 ) and/or a load ( 66 ) of the engine. 14. The method according to claim 12, wherein the parameters ( 60 , 62 , 64 , 66 ) include a cooling water temperature ( 60 ) and/or an intake a ir temperature ( 62 ) and/or a speed ( 64 ) and/or a load ( 66 ) of the engine. 15. The method according to claim 9, further comprising the step of adjusting the pressure at the input of the second fuel pump ( 38 ) by means of the speed of the first fuel pump ( 20 ). 16. A computer readable medium having a computer program for executing the method according to claim 9, when the computer readable medium is run on a computer. 17. The computer readable medium according to claim 16, wherein the computer readable medium is a flash memory. 18. A control and/or regulating unit ( 58 ) for controlling and/or regulating the fuel system ( 10 ) according to claim 1, the control and/or regulating unit further comprising a computer program controlling the valve device ( 70 ) to activate the shutoff function ( 72 ) immediately after the engine is turned off and to deactivate the shutoff function immediately the engine is turned on.
