Abstract
A fuel rail is provided which includes a housing formed by a first member with a first thickness. A bracket is provided, connected to the first member to connect the fuel rail to an internal combustion engine. A second stamped member is provided and is sealably connected to the first member to form a control volume therewith. The second member has a second thickness that is materially lower than the first thickness. Accordingly, the second member has a wall to damp pulsations caused by the opening and closing of the injectors fluidly connected with the rail.
