Patent ID: 7721715

Claim:
An injector mounting structure in an engine in which fuel injection is performed by injectors via a common rail, comprising: a plurality of through-holes provided in a cylinder head cover, the injectors being inserted through the through-holes and fixed to a cylinder head; the common rail fixed to the cylinder head; and fuel pipes, disposed outside the cylinder head cover, for connecting the common rail to the injectors, wherein the fuel pipes are each in such a shape as to connect the common rail to each injector so that when a longitudinal direction of the common rail and a lower end of each injector are within an identical plane, each injector is located to approach the common rail upwardly, a direction in which the fuel pipe extends from a site of connection thereof to the common rail and a longitudinal direction of the injector are set to form an angle at which the fuel pipe and the injector cross each other above the injector, and the common rail and the injectors integrated by the fuel pipes are detachable from the cylinder head and the cylinder head cover.
