Abstract
A fuel rail retention bracket for a fuel rail assembly having a fuel rail fluidly coupled to a fuel line includes a main body, a first connecting end configured to couple to the fuel rail, and a second connecting end configured to couple to the fuel line. The main body and first and second connecting ends are configured to prevent relative displacement between the fuel line and the fuel rail to maintain the coupling between the fuel rail and the fuel line.
