Abstract
A jumper tube assembly connects a fluid supplying port of a fluid passing member to an inlet port of a fuel injector and passes fluid flow between the fluid supplying port and the inlet port. A tubular conduit of the jumper tube assembly is connected at a first end portion by brazing to a sealing member has a configuration sufficient to absorb a fluid applied load and provide a leak resistant joint at the inlet port to the fuel injector. The jumper tube assembly is particularly suited for use in a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine.
