Claim Text:
1. A quill connector for a fuel system in an internal combustion engine, the quill connector comprising: an elongate quill body defining a longitudinal axis extending between a proximal body end having a fuel inlet formed therein, and a distal body end having a fuel outlet formed therein; the elongate quill body further defining a fuel conduit fluidly connecting the fuel inlet with the fuel outlet, and the fuel conduit including a proximal accumulator segment for containing a reserve of a pressurized fuel, and a distal injector supply segment for supplying the pressurized fuel to a fuel injector, a volume of the proximal accumulator segment being greater than a volume of the distal injector supply segment; a flow limiter subassembly for limiting oversupplying of the pressurized fuel, the flow limiter subassembly including the biaser being held in compression between the hydraulically actuated valve and the seat component, and the hydraulically actuated valve being movable in opposition to a biasing force of the biaser from a first position to a closed position at which the hydraulically actuated valve contacts the seat component to interrupt a flow of the pressurized fuel from the proximal accumulator segment to the distal injector supply segment.
