In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in a fuel injector that includes an upper housing portion that defines an inlet passage adapted to receive fuel, and a lower housing portion that is attached to the upper housing portion and that defines an injector outlet adapted to dispense fuel. The fuel injector includes an electromagnetic coil assembly that is user removable while the upper housing portion remains attached to the lower housing portion. The fuel injector includes a movable pintle that is biased to a closed position that is adapted to prevent fuel from flowing through the injector outlet, and movable, responsive to magnetic force produced by energizing the electromagnetic coil assembly, to an open position that is adapted to permit fuel to flow through the injector outlet.

Various embodiments include a fuel injector assembly for an internal combustion engine comprising: an injector cup; a securing device to fasten the injector cup to the engine; wherein a first end of the injector cup remote from the fuel inlet port comprises an outwardly extending flange; a connector abutting the flange, wherein the injector cup and the fuel injector are secured together through the connector; and a fastening bracket supported on the flange, wherein the injector cup and the connector are secured through the fastening bracket by a fastening device. The fastening device comprises a U-shaped clip with a first arm disposed between a clamping face of the fastening device and the fastening bracket and a second arm generally parallel to the first arm disposed on the opposite side of the fastening bracket.

A fuel delivery assembly for an internal combustion engine, including an injector cup, a fuel injector received therein, and a spring clip is disclosed. The injector cup has a circumferential wall with an external shoulder. The fuel injector has a shoulder which is axially spaced apart from the injector cup. The spring clip has a base portion with two radially compliant webs bearing against the shoulder of the circumferential wall and being in force-fit engagement with the circumferential wall. The spring clip has an axially compliant portion bearing against the shoulder of the fuel injector and being elastically deformable to bias the fuel injector in axial direction from the upper end towards the lower end.

A fuel injector assembly includes a valve housing, a valve stem that is disposed in the valve housing, a magnetic coil that surrounds the valve housing and is used to displace the valve stem within the valve housing, and a terminal blade. The terminal blade includes a bus bar that provides an electrical connection between the magnetic coil and an external connector. In addition, the terminal blade includes a clip that is connected to the bus bar at a clip first end and to the valve housing at a clip second end. The clip includes a sacrificial portion that is configured to part, for example by dissolving, when the terminal blade undergoes an overmolding process. As a result of the overmolding process, the clip is separated into multiple, spaced portions.

An improved apparatus for repairing fuel injector hold-down bolt holes is disclosed. The apparatus can be readily mounted to the passage through which the fuel injector passes via a flange that fits inside the passage and thus generally avoids the need to remove the engine in order to conduct the repairs. The apparatus further provides guides or bushings that allow for the precise alignment of various tools to repair the hold-down bolt hole.

A vibration damper (1) operating in accordance with the mass-spring principle, which is provided for fitting on an injection line pipe, includes a main body (2) which comprises an elastomeric vibration-damping material and has an inside hollow space (3) which passes therethrough in the longitudinal direction and which in the fitted condition surrounds the injection line pipe, the longitudinal axis (4) of the inside hollow space (3) coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the pipe, and is characterized in that it has a mass distribution eccentric with respect to its longitudinal axis (4) and can be non-rotatably fitted on the injection line pipe.

A fuel injection system has a fuel distributor and multiple fuel injection valves each disposed on a cup of the fuel distributor. At least one injection valve is mounted on the associated cup by way of at least one holding element. An abutment surface is provided on the outer side of the cup. A support surface is configured on the underside of the cup. The holding element is moreover configured as a holding clamp. An abutment surface is provided on an outer side of the fuel injection valve. The holding clamp engages on the one hand behind the abutment surface of the cup and on the other hand behind the abutment surface of the fuel injection valve. The holding clamp furthermore pushes the fuel injection valve toward the support surface.

An injector for a fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine, namely for a common rail fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine which is formed in particular as a large diesel internal combustion engine or ship's diesel internal combustion engine, having an injection nozzle, a control valve and a retaining body. The injection nozzle and the control valve form a clamped composite, and the composite formed of the injection nozzle and control valve can be mounted on the retaining body as a unit and disassembled from the retaining body as a unit.

Various embodiments may include a long injector for fuel injection comprising: a base portion and an extension portion electrically connected to the base portion. An end of the extension portion may include an electrically conductive terminal with contact clips. The contact clips are spaced at a distance from each other or from a side wall of the electrically conductive terminal. An end of the base portion comprises electrical contacts positioned so each of the electrical contacts can slide into a contact clip of the electrically conductive terminal. The electrically conductive terminal includes a latch mechanism. An electrical connection between the base portion and the extension portion is created when the electrical contacts are inserted into the contact clip and held by the latch mechanism. The long injector further comprises an overmolded body encapsulating the electrical connection between the base portion and the extension portion.

A clipfor a fuel injection valve includes a load transmitting memberand a fitting member. The load transmitting member is formed from a single wire material and includes a contacting portion, which contacts a contactable surface formed in the fuel injection valve, a depressible portion, which is depressible in a downward direction by a pressing surface formed in a fuel supply conduit, and a spring portion, which is formed between one end of the contacting portion and the depressible portion and is resiliently deformable by a load. The fitting member-is formed separately from the load transmitting member and is connected to the load transmitting member on a side of the contacting portion, which is opposite from the spring portion. The fitting member is fittable to a fittable portion of the fuel supply conduit.
