Abstract (en)

A fuel rail assembly for a fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine comprises an elongate fuel rail having a fuel inlet and a plurality of fuel outlets spaced along the fuel rail. Each outlet has a fuel adapter bonded thereto to provide a hydraulic communication with a fuel injector cup adapted to receive a fuel injector for injecting fuel into the engine. The fuel adapter has a variable material thickness, the thickness being adapted to the characteristics of the fuel rail and the communication to the fuel injector cup in order, in use, to equalise substantially the stresses applied to these components, and the bond therebetween.
