Fuel rail damping device

A fuel rail, comprising:

• a tubular member defining a passageway for fluid, at least one injector socket defined by said tubular member, each of said at least one injector socket in fluid communication with said passageway, said tubular member configured for being fluidly connected to a fuel supply;
• and
• a fuel rail damper including a hollow member disposed within said passageway, said hollow member having at least one wall and at least one active portion, said hollow member defining a chamber in conjunction with said at least one active portion, said chamber being open to atmospheric pressure.

A fuel rail comprising:

• a tubular member defining a passageway for fluid, at least one injector socket defined by said tubular member, each of said at least one injector socket in fluid communication with said passageway, said tubular member configured for being fluidly connected to a fuel supply;
• and
• a fuel rail damper including a hollow member disposed within said passageway, said hollow member having a first end and a second end, and at least one active portion, at least one of said first and second ends being open to atmospheric pressure, thereby defining a chamber in conjunction with said at least one active portion.

A method of making a fuel rail comprising:

• forming a tubular member defining a passageway for fluid, with at least one injector socket defined by said tubular member, each of said at least one injector socket in fluid communication with said passageway, said tubular member configured for being fluidly connected to a fuel supply;
• forming a fuel rail damper including a hollow member disposed within said passageway, said hollow member having at least one wall and at least one active portion, said hollow member being open to atmospheric pressure, at least during assembly, thereby defining a chamber in conjunction with said at least one active portion.
