  • Patent number: 5785022
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuel injector post for connecting a fuel injector to a fuel rail. The fuel injector post comprises a tubular body portion with a central axis having a circumferential wall, an open end and an outlet on the tubular body portion. The fuel injector post further comprises an adapter portion positioned at an angle to the central axis of the tubular body and integral with the outlet on the tubular body portion. The adapter portion has a passage in fluid communication with the tubular body portion and the fuel rail and therefore connects a fuel injector to the side of a fuel rail, which is advantageous to the engine package. Alternatively, the tubular body portion can have a closed end configured and adapted to reduce air entrapment in the tubular body portion to therefore reduce or eliminate pressure waves in the entire fuel system due to entrapped air.

  • Patent number: 5058555
    Abstract: A modular fuel injector pod for holding individual fuel injectors in place on an intake manifold, cylinder head or other support surface associated with an induction system of an internal combustion engine, and for supplying fuel to the injectors. The modular fuel injector pod includes a hollow body, generally configured in four portions of successively decreasing inside diameter adapted to hold a fuel injector. Outwardly projecting tubes supply and take away unused fuel to and from the pod. Fuel used by the associated injector is sprayed into the induction chamber through an outlet in one end of the pod. A modular fuel injector assembly utilizes a pod as described above and includes a retaining clip for holding fuel injector in the pod and o-rings for providing fuel tight seals in the assembly.
