In some examples, a clip prevents relative rotation between a fuel injector and an injector cup of a fuel rail. For instance, the fuel injector may be rotated following insertion into the injector cup to prevent removal of the fuel injector. The clip includes a clip body having a pair of arms extending from the clip body with an opening between the arms for receiving the fuel injector. A tab extends from the clip body into the opening for engaging a first alignment slot in the injector cup and a second alignment slot in the fuel injector when the clip is installed on the fuel injector. Following installation of the clip on the fuel injector, the tab is disposed in the first and second alignment slots to prevent relative rotation between the fuel injector and the injector cup.
