Abstract
A method of securing a fuel injector seal assembly includes placing a fuel nozzle within a bore of a seal, and selectively limiting withdrawal of the fuel nozzle from the bore based on the circumferential position of the fuel nozzle relative to the bore.
Claims17
A method of securing a fuel injector assembly, comprising:
- placing a fuel nozzle within a bore of a seal, the bore extending longitudinally along an axis;
- selectively limiting withdrawal of the fuel nozzle from the bore based on a circumferential position of the fuel nozzle relative to the bore about the axis, wherein the seal is a continuous monolithic component;
- and
- contacting a tab of the seal against a groove floor of the fuel nozzle during the selective limiting.

A method of securing a fuel injector seal assembly, comprising:
- placing a fuel nozzle within a bore of a seal, the bore extending longitudinally along an axis, wherein the seal is a continuous monolithic component;
- selectively limiting withdrawal of the fuel nozzle from the bore based on how the fuel nozzle within the bore is circumferentially positioned about the axis relative to the seal;
- and
- biasing the seal away from the fuel nozzle along the axis in a direction, and contacting the seal with the fuel nozzle to limit movement of the seal in the direction.
