FUEL LINE COUPLING AND SUPPORT MECHANISM

摘要

A connecting assembly for securing and supporting a fuel line with respect to the inlet or outlet of a fuel filter includes a mounting base secured to the filter housing through wich the fuel communicates and which has an outer surface defined by a series of engagement surfaces which join with one another to define corners. A fuel line coupling engages the mounting base. A bracket includes a circumferentially extending ring having an inner circumferential surface which is defined by serrations which engage the corners when the bracket is installed on the mounting base. An arm extending from the ring includes a recess which engages the fuel line, thereby orienting and supporting the fuel line with respect to the filter.
