Abstract
A fuel delivery assembly for an internal combustion engine, including an injector cup, a fuel injector received therein, and a spring clip is disclosed. The injector cup has a circumferential wall with an external shoulder. The fuel injector has a shoulder which is axially spaced apart from the injector cup. The spring clip has a base portion with two radially compliant webs bearing against the shoulder of the circumferential wall and being in force-fit engagement with the circumferential wall. The spring clip has an axially compliant portion bearing against the shoulder of the fuel injector and being elastically deformable to bias the fuel injector in axial direction from the upper end towards the lower end.
