A fuel rail assembly for delivering fuel to at least one fuel injector. The assembly includes a main pipe defining a passageway through which fuel passes to the fuel injector. A fastener mount is forged with the main pipe such that the fastener mount is integral with the main pipe. The fastener mount defines a first aperture configured to receive a fastener for mounting the main pipe. A wire harness mount is forged with the main pipe such that the wire harness mount is integral with the main pipe. The wire harness mount defines a second aperture configured to cooperate with a coupling member of a wire harness. The fastener mount and the wire harness mount are on a common side of the main pipe.

Fuel rail assembly

A fuel delivery system for an engine includes a fuel rail, a fuel injector, and a clip. The fuel rail has a cup that defines an opening. The fuel injector has an upper end that is disposed within the opening such that the cup and fuel injector are axially aligned. The clip is secured to the fuel injector and engages the cup to orient the fuel injector radially relative to the cup. The clip has a tab that extends outward relative to the fuel injector. The tab defines a central orifice that is configured to receive a fastener. The fastener is configured to mount a wire harness.

Fuel delivery system

A fuel delivery system for an engine includes a fuel rail cup, a fuel injector, and a retainer clip. The fuel rail cup extends along a longitudinal axis and defines an opening that extends radially outward from the longitudinal axis. The fuel injector has an upper end that is disposed within the opening such that the cup and fuel injector are aligned along the longitudinal axis. The retainer clip has a central body and at least one prong that protrudes upward from the central body. The central body engages the fuel injector and the at least one prong engages the fuel rail cup such that the clip inhibits axial movement of the fuel injector relative to the fuel rail cup along the longitudinal axis and such that the clip inhibits rotation of the fuel injector relative to the fuel rail cup about the longitudinal axis.
