Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to fuel manifolds for the fuel system of an internal combustion engine. A fuel manifold having a rigid base portion with a fuel injector pocket defined therein, a top wall portion, a first substantially flat thin-walled portion extending between the rigid base portion and the top wall portion and a second substantially flat thin-walled portion extending between the rigid base portion and the top wall portion. The base portion, the top wall portion and the first and second thin-walled portions are defined by a one-piece aluminum extrusion and together define a fuel cavity that extends into the base portion and communicates with the fuel injector pocket.
