ABSTRACT:
A fuel rail is provided with a mounting clip in each mounting foot to allow secure connection of the fuel rail adjacent an engine manifold. The mounting clip is inserted into a mounting foot after the fuel rail has been manufactured and has a flange which overlies the top of the foot. The clip completely receives a bolt therein and when the bolt is tightened transmits a clamping force to the fuel rail through the flange of the clip. Thus, the bolt bears directly on the clip, not the fuel rail, and can be highly torqued without breaking the fuel rail.
