Abstract
A fuel delivery system for a direct injection internal combustion engine which reduces mechanical stress on the fuel system components. The system includes a first and a second fuel rail mounted to the engine block for the internal combustion engine. A device is attached to the fuel rails which reduces movement of the fuel rails relative to the engine block and mechanical stress that would otherwise result from such movement.
