Abstract (en)

A fuel rail assembly for an internal combustion engine has an elongate fuel rail (2) and a plurality of fuel outlets spaced along the fuel rail (2), the fuel outlets each having a fuel adapter (6) secured to the fuel rail (2) for connecting a fuel injector to provide a mechanical and hydraulic connection to the fuel rail (2). Each adapter (6) is shaped to provide an exterior face to match a corresponding mating profile surface on the fuel rail (2) by which surfaces the adapter (6) is secured by brazing to the fuel rail (2).
