Abstract
A fuel injector cup assembly () includes a fuel injector cup () having an opening () to receive fuel from a fuel rail (). An open end () receives an inlet of a fuel injector () therein such that an O-ring () seals with the injector cup. A mounting portion () extends from a body () of the cup and mounts the cup with respect to a cylinder head. Rotation limiting structure () is associated with the mounting portion such that when the cup is coupled to the cylinder head and when a first moment is created about the mounting portion causing rotation of the cup with respect to the fuel injector, the rotation limiting structure will engage at least the mounting portion of the cup and create a second moment equal and opposite to the first moment, to prevent further rotation of the cup.
