Abstract
A fuel rail assembly for distributing fuel to a plurality of electromagnetic fuel injectors which in turn supply atomized fuel to the cylinders of an internal combustion engine. Each of the injectors has a fuel inlet section that is removably held in an injector socket in the rail. Inside the rail a filter member, having a relatively large surface area, is provided at each injector socket to filter only that porton of the fuel which flows into its respective socket immediately prior to the entry of the fuel into the socket. The injector sockets and the filter members are designed so they have mating cylindrical sections which allow the filter members to be telescoped over the corresponding cylindrical sections of the sockets. Each filter member has a dome section which covers a fuel inlet aperture in the socket. The dome section extends from the cylindrical section into an open space above it where the apex of the dome abuts another member of the rail assembly thereby holding the filter member in place.
