SEALING SYSTEM FOR AN ENGINE

A sealing system comprising a cylinder head, a coupler, a fuel injector line, a seal retainer, and a seal. The coupler is positioned in the cylinder head, and the fuel injector line extends into the coupler so as to at least partially define a fuel leak passageway therebetween. The seal retainer yie...

Zusammenfassung:	A sealing system comprising a cylinder head, a coupler, a fuel injector line, a seal retainer, and a seal. The coupler is positioned in the cylinder head, and the fuel injector line extends into the coupler so as to at least partially define a fuel leak passageway therebetween. The seal retainer yieldably urges the seal towards a seated position in which the seal established a sealed connection between the fuel injector line and the coupler, so as to block ingress of moisture into the fuel leak passageway. Further, the seal retainer allows movement of the seal away from the seated position to an unseated position in which the sealed connection between the fuel injector line and the coupler is broken in response to pressurized leaked fuel, in the fuel leak passageway, so as to allow the pressurized leaked fuel to flow out of the fuel leak passageway.
