Abstract:
A fuel injector retention arrangement includes a fuel rail socket interior space defined within a fuel rail socket body along a fuel rail socket axis; a fuel injector retention groove defined on a fuel injector upper housing of a fuel injector; a first retention bore defined in the fuel rail socket body along a first retention bore axis that is substantially perpendicular to the fuel rail socket axis; a second retention bore defined in the fuel rail socket body along a second retention bore axis that is substantially perpendicular to the fuel rail socket axis; a first retention pin disposed within the first retention bore and the fuel injector retention groove; a second retention pin disposed within the second retention bore and the fuel injector retention groove; and a retention pin retaining member which retains the first and second retention pins in the first and second retention bores respectively.
