8、he internal combustion engine. Background of the invention : 1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to a fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine provided with a fuel injection mechanism that injects fuel at high pressure into a cylinder (i.e.； a fuel injector for in-cylinder in
9、jection,hereinafter referred to as “in-cylinder fuel injector”) and a fuel injection mechanism that injects fuel into an intake passage or an intake port (i.e.,a fuel injector for intake passage injection,hereinafter referred to as “intake passage fuel injector”). More particularly,the invention rel
10、ates to a fuel supply system that can improve startability of an internal combustion engine. 2. Description of the Related Art A gasoline engine is known which is provided with a fast fuel injection valve for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of the engine (i.e.,an in-cylinder fuel injector)
11、and a second fuel injection valve for injecting fuel into an intake passage (i.e.,an intake passage fuel injector),and divides the injected fuel between the in-cylinder fuel injector and the intake passage fuel injector according to the engine speed and engine load. Also,a direct injection gasoline
12、engine is also known which is provided with only a fuel injection valve for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber of the engine (i.e.,an in-cylinder fuel injector). In a high pressure fuel system that includes an in-cylinder fuel injector,fuel of which the pressure has been increased by a high
13、pressure fuel pump is supplied to the in-cylinder fuel injector via a delivery pipe. The in-cylinder fuel injector then injects the high pressure fuel into the combustion chamber of each cylinder of the internal combustion engine. In addition,a diesel engine is also known which has a common rail typ
14、e fuel injection system. In this common rail type fuel injection system,fuel which has been increased in pressure by a high pressure fuel pump is stored in a common rail. The high pressure fuel is then injected into the combustion chamber of each cylinder of the diesel engine from the common rail by
15、 opening and closing an electromagnetic valve. In order to increase the pressure of (i.e.,pressurize) the fuel in this kind of internal combustion engine,a high pressure fuel pump is provided which is driven by a cam provided on a driveshaft that is connected to a crankshaft of the internal combusti
16、on engine. Japanese Patent Application Publication No. JP-A-2005-139923 describes a high pressure fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine that can reduce vibrational noise when only a small amount of fuel is required by the internal combustion engine,such as during idling,while being ab
17、le to deliver the necessary amount of fuel over the entire operating range of the internal combustion engine. This high pressure fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine has a two single plunger type high pressure fuel pumps each of which have a spill valve that spills fuel drawn into a
18、pressurizing chamber that is divided by a cylinder and a plunger that moves back and forth in the cylinder,from that pressurizing chamber. When fuel is pressurized and delivered from the pressurizing chamber to the high pressure fuel system,the amount of fuel delivered is adjusted by controlling the
19、 spill valve open and closed. One of these high pressure fuel pumps is a first high pressure fuel pump in which the lift amount of the plunger is small and the other high pressure fuel pump is a second high pressure fuel pump in which the lift amount of the plunger is large. In addition to these two
20、 high pressure fuel pumps,the high pressure fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine also includes control means. The control means controls the spill valve of each high pressure fuel pump according to the amount of fuel required by the internal combustion engine,such that fuel is pressu
21、rized and delivered using only the first high pressure fuel pump when the amount of required fuel is small,and fuel is pressurized and delivered using at least the second high pressure fuel pump when the amount of required fuel is large. According to this high pressure fuel supply system for an inte
22、rnal combustion engine,of the two high pressure fuel pumps,the first high pressure fuel pump has a plunger with a small lift amount so the rate of pressure increase is small and a large amount of water hammer is also self-suppressed. That is,with the high pressure fuel supply system,the vibrational
23、noise produced when the required fuel quantity is small can be preferably reduced by controlling the spill valve of each of the high pressure fuel pumps so that only the first high pressure fuel pump is used when the amount of fuel required for the internal combustion engine is small such as during
24、idling. On the other hand,the second high pressure fuel pump has a plunger with a large lift amount so pressurizing and delivering fuel using at least this second high pressure fuel pump also makes it possible to deliver the required fuel quantity when the amount of fuel required by the internal com
25、bustion engine increases to the point where it can no longer be delivered by the first high pressure fuel pump alone. That is,providing two high pressure fuel pumps having plungers with different lift amounts in this way enables the required amount of fuel to be delivered throughout the entire opera
26、ting range of the internal combustion engine,while reducing vibrational noise when the amount of required fuel is small. In Japanese Patent Application Publication No. JP-A-2005-139923,the high pressure fuel supply system for a V-type 8 cylinder internal combustion engine having an in-cylinder fuel
27、injector in each cylinder is provided with a high pressure fuel pump for each bank. Tip ends that branch off from a low pressure fuel passage which is connected to the fuel tank are connected to galleries of these high pressure fuel pumps. For each bank,a pulsation damper is provided midway between the branch portion of the low pressure fuel passage and the portion that connects with the gallery. This pulsation damper suppresses the pulsation in the fuel pressure in the low pressure
