ABSTRACT:
An engine includes a fuel rail and fuel delivery devices, such as fuel injectors, that deliver fuel to corresponding cylinder assemblies. The use of the fuel rail and fuel injectors allows unused fuel to be purged from the engine at the end of the engine's operating cycle, thereby minimizing the creation of fuel vapor within the engine. The fuel rail is assembled from modular fluid conduit adaptors and fluid conduits. With such modularity, a custom fuel rail can be assembled for any size engine. The use of the fluid conduit adaptors and fluid conduits allows motion of the cylinder assemblies relative to the fuel rail during operation to minimize the application of potentially damaging forces on the fuel rail.
