Patent ID: 7775235

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a fuel flow regulator having a mounting flange, an inlet portion and an outlet portion, the fuel flow regulator being a flow-through fuel flow regulator; an inlet cover having an inner surface, a flange, and an inlet connector, the inner surface defining an inlet cavity within which the inlet portion of the fuel flow regulator is disposed such that the flange of the inlet cover engages the mounting flange of the fuel flow regulator, the flange of the inlet cover including a protrusion, the inlet connector defining a lumen in fluid communication with the inlet cavity; and an outlet cover having an inner surface, a flange and an outlet connector, the inner surface of the outlet cover defining an outlet cavity, the flange of the outlet cover defining a recess, the outlet connector defining a lumen in fluid communication with the outlet cavity, the flange of the inlet cover configured to be coupled to the flange of the outlet cover such that the inlet portion of the fuel flow regulator is within the inlet cavity and the outlet portion of the fuel flow regulator opens outwardly toward the outlet cavity, the protrusion of the flange of the inlet cover disposed within the recess defined by the flange of the outlet cover to form a first fluid-tight seal, the inlet portion and the inner surface of the inlet cover collectively forming a second fluid-tight seal between the inlet cavity and the outlet cavity.
