A modular fuel injector pod for holding individual fuel injectors in place on an intake manifold, cylinder head or other support surface associated with an induction system of an internal combustion engine, and for supplying fuel to the injectors. The modular fuel injector pod includes a hollow body, generally configured in four portions of successively decreasing inside diameter adapted to hold a fuel injector. Outwardly projecting tubes supply and take away unused fuel to and from the pod. Fuel used by the associated injector is sprayed into the induction chamber through an outlet in one end of the pod. A modular fuel injector assembly utilizes a pod as described above and includes a retaining clip for holding fuel injector in the pod and o-rings for providing fuel tight seals in the assembly. In a fuel injection system according to the invention, modular fuel injector assemblies are linked to a fuel supply and to one another by standard flexible or rigid fuel lines, thereby providing a continuous circuit for fuel flow. Any number of assemblies may be used, corresponding to the number of cylinders of the engine, and additional assemblies may be provided to meet auxillary fuel requirements.
