Fuel Pump Housing With An Integrated Deflector
Abstract:
Some gasoline engines have a high-pressure fuel pump that is driven by a rotating component of the engine such as the camshaft or crankshaft. In the event of a crash, the fuel lines coupled to the engine should remain intact to avoid fuel spillage. It is known in the prior art to provide a separate bracket to provide the protection. However, such bracket is a separate piece that must be separately assembled, coupled to components of the engine requiring mounting holes, and adds to the part count of the engine. By integrating a deflector with a fuel pump component, the bracket is obviated.
