Patent ID: 6843234

Claim:
An injector for a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine, the fuel injection system including a fuel rail having a fuel rail cup in fluid communication with the fuel rail, the injector comprising: a body extending along a longitudinal axis between an inlet and an outlet; a seat coupled to the body proximate the outlet, the seat defining an opening through which fuel is adapted to flow into the internal combustion engine; an armature assembly movable along the longitudinal axis with respect to the seat, the armature assembly being movable between a first configuration preventing fuel flow through the opening and a second configuration permitting fuel flow through the opening; and an inlet tube assembly coupled to the body proximate the inlet, the inlet tube assembly including: a first inlet tube member extending along the longitudinal axis between a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end and the inlet of the body providing a first fluid-tight coupling; and a second inlet tube member extending along a bending path between a first end and a second end, the first end and the distal end of the first inlet tube member providing a second fluid-tight coupling.
