ABSTRACT:
A fuel rail assembly is disclosed with internal electrical connectors for the solenoids of each fuel injector, the fuel injectors having pin contacts inserted into a connector seated in a recess formed in an internal wall of the fuel rail. A common external connector allows the electrical leads from the internal connectors to be connected to an electronic controller. An air assist version features a simplified construction enabled by the internal connectors, and has an air jacket surrounding each fuel injector, with compressed air received from an air supply passage defined within the fuel rail. The internal connectors are located offset from the fuel injector axes to allow an even sealing pressure to be exerted by manifold mounting bolts.
