Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3604787A1] A fuel rail (2) for a fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine comprises an elongate body (4) having a peripheral wall (6) defining a fuel reservoir (8) and having a fuel inlet (10), a plurality of fuel outlets (14) spaced along the fuel rail (2), and at least one fastening point (12) to enable the fuel rail (2) to be secured to an engine. A thickness of the peripheral wall (6) is variable along its length and is thicker in regions subject, in operation, to higher stress. The fuel rail (2) may be manufactured using an additive manufacturing technology.
