PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exhaust emission control device capable of detecting leakage of fuel added as a reducing agent. SOLUTION: This exhaust emission control device comprises a catalyst 20 for exhaust emission control provided in an exhaust system, a fuel adding apparatus 28 for adding fuel as a reducing agent to the catalyst 20 for exhaust emission control, a fuel supply source 6 for supplying fuel to the fuel adding apparatus 28, an emergency shutdown valve 31 formed by fitting the fuel supply source 6 on a fuel supply path 29 connected to the fuel adding apparatus 28, and a shutdown valve position detecting means for detecting that the emergency shutdown valve 31 is at a closed position. If fuel pressure on the upstream side acting on the emergency shutdown valve 31 is larger than that in the downstream, there is a possibility of fuel leakage, therefore the emergency shutdown valve 31 is controlled so as not to open even when an opening command is outputted. When an exhaust air-fuel ratio is not changed to the rich side even if a fuel adding command is outputted, added fuel leakage can be detected in the downstream of the emergency cutoff valve 31.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device that is capable of steadily supplying a desired amount of reduction agent at desired timing without being influenced by the heat derived from the exhaust gas, in an exhaust gas cleaning device for an internal combustion engine designed to adjust the functions of a NOx catalyst by directly injection-feeding reduction agent to the exhaust system of the internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: A fuel injection nozzle 17, including its top end part 17c, is buried within the inner wall of an exhaust gas port 40a formed in a cylinder head 100a. An injection passage 101c guides the fuel injected from the top end part 17c of the fuel injection nozzle 17 into the inside of the exhaust gas port 40a. A wall 102 provided between the top end part 17c and the exhaust gas port 40a reduces the heat received from the nozzle 17. Also, the existence of a water jacket 110 adjacent to the outer periphery of a nozzle sheet 103 enables an efficient movement of the heat contained in the gasket 103 into the cooling water in the water jacket 110.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate intended engine output by burning all injected fuel as combustible air-fuel mixture, even if fuel diverts its flow to the ignition plug side sidewall direction of a cavity and the fuel injection valve side sidewall direction after the fuel collides with the wall surface of the cavity in stratified charge combustion.
