Leak detection method and associated valve and fuel system

A fuel injector mounting assembly is configured to limit or constrain movement of a fuel injector relative to a corresponding cylinder assembly. For example, the fuel injector mounting assembly includes a base that is secured to a cylinder assembly's housing and a fuel conduit. The fuel conduit includes a first fuel conduit portion which operates in conjunction with a cylinder assembly's fuel manifold to capture a fuel injector between the fuel injector mounting assembly and the cylinder assembly's fuel manifold. The fuel conduit also includes a second fuel conduit portion which is secured to a compliant fuel line. With such a configuration of the fuel injector mounting assembly, both ends of the fuel injector are secured to the cylinder assembly to minimize any relative motion in the fuel injector's seals relative to either the cylinder assembly's fuel manifold or to the compliant fuel line.
