A connector arrangement for use in a fuel system, the connector arrangement comprising a bridge member shaped for cooperation with at least first and second members to be connected to a housing, and a clamp arrangement for clamping the bridge member to the housing, the bridge member transmitting a clamping load from the clamp means to the first and second members. The invention also relates to a connector arrangement comprising a plurality of high pressure fuel pipes which are supplied with fuel from a common inlet passage, the common inlet passage being arranged, in use, to receive fuel from a high pressure fuel supply. Each of the pipes comprises one or more outlet region which is connectable with an inlet region of a respective injector forming part of the fuel system to permit high pressure fuel to be supplied to said injector.
A connector arrangement for use in a fuel system, the connector arrangement comprising a plurality of high pressure fuel pipes, each having a pipe length, said pipes being supplied, in use, with fuel from a common inlet passage, the common inlet passage being arranged, in use, to receive fuel from a high pressure fuel supply, each of the pipes comprising one or more outlet regions which is connectable with an inlet region of a respective injector forming 11 of the fuel system to permit high pressure fuel to be supplied to said injector, the common inlet passage being defined by an inlet member provided with two through bores, each of the through bores having a high pressure fuel pipe extending therethrough.
A seal assembly for use with a connector arrangement, the connector arrangement for use in a fuel system, the connector arrangement including a plurality of high pressure fuel pipes, each having a pipe length, said pipes being supplied, in use, with fuel from a common inlet passage, the common inlet passage being arranged, in use, to receive fuel from a high pressure fuel supply, each of the pipes comprising one or more outlet regions which is connectable with an inlet region of a respective injector forming part of the fuel system to permit high pressure fuel to be supplied to said injector, the seal assembly comprising a resilient seal member and first and second plate members, the first and second plate members being arranged to apply a force to opposing faces of the seal member such that, upon assembly of the seal assembly, the application of a force to at least one of the plate members serves to deform the seal member into sealing engagement with a surface associated with the fuel system.
