Abstract
A fuel rail assembly for an internal combustion engine including an elongated rail having a longitudinal inlet passage and a longitudinal outlet passage. The upstream end of the inlet passage is connected to a fuel supply line while the downstream end of the inlet passage is connected through a pressure regulator to the upstream end of the outlet passage. A return fuel line is connected to the downstream end of the outlet passage. A plurality of injector bores communicate with the inlet passage and extend to the exterior of the rail and each injector bore receives one end of a fuel injector, while the opposite end of each injector is sealed within a bore in a runner of an intake manifold. The injectors are mounted in a manner to provide limited tilt to facilitate assembly with the bores in the fuel rail and the manifold reservoir.
