Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes a coolant pump having an axially directed rotary pumping element which is functionally housed between upstream and downstream stators which function to straighten the flow and recover fluid velocity, both before and after work has been performed on the fluid by the rotary pumping element.

Abstract: An integrated fuel delivery and electrical connection system including an electrical bus, a fuel delivery tube and a plurality of fuel injectors is provided. The electrical bus may include openings for insertion and connection of fuel injectors, and positive and ground electrical contacts for electrical connection to respective fuel injector positive and ground contacts. The fuel delivery tube may include corresponding openings for insertion and connection of fuel injectors. A method of installing the above-identified system is also provided and includes the steps of inserting fuel injectors into openings in the electrical bus and fuel delivery tube, and thereafter connecting a single electrical harness to the electrical bus to provide electricity to the system. The electrical bus may be used in a standalone configuration, may be integrated with the fuel delivery tube, or may be packaged with fuel injectors to form an integrated package for assembly onto an automobile engine.
