  • Backflow connector and fuel injector having backflow connector
    Patent number: 7891343
    Abstract: A fuel injector (10) for injecting fuel into an internal combustion engine has a backflow outlet (18) for taking away the un-injected fuel from the fuel injector (10). A backflow connector (20) is attached to the backflow outlet (18) using a connection component (24), where the connection component (24) is designed so that it can be attached to the backflow nipple (20) in two assembly positions. In the first assembly position the connection component (24) can be pre-assembled on the backflow nipple (20). By moving the connection component (24) into the second assembly position, the backflow nipple (20) can be attached to the fuel injector (10).
