FUEL DISTRIBUTOR AND MOUNTING SYSTEM THEREFOR AND METHOD OF MOUNTING A FUEL DISTRIBUTOR

摘要

A fuel distributor (10) and mounting arrangement that helps support the weight of the fuel distributor (10) during removal and replacement for improved maintainability. The mounting arrangement includes a hanger (60) mountable on a first support which hanger (60) includes a slot (70), and a manifold (40) separate from the hanger (60) that has a first side (43) with a plurality of ports (54) arranged in a first configuration. The manifold (40) is connectable to a plurality of fluid lines on an engine (80). A fuel distributor body (12) has a first surface, a second surface spaced from the first surface and a third surface between the first surface and the second surface with a hanging cleat (36) projecting from the first surface that is configured to be received within the slot (70). The third surface has a main fuel inlet (16) and a plurality of additional fluid ports (18) arranged in the same configuration as the ports on the manifold (40). A mounting pin (26) projects from the third surface. Also a method of mounting the fuel distributor is proposed.
