Abstract
A fuel injector assembly includes a fuel injector defining a longitudinal axis extending between a first axial injector end, and a second axial injector end. The fuel injector further includes, between the first axial injector end and the second axial injector end, a first clamp face and a second clamp face defining a middle plane. The fuel injector assembly further includes a clamp having a forked injector portion forming a slot receiving the fuel injector and in contact with each of the first clamp face and the second clamp face, and a bolting portion having a bolt hole formed therein. The bolt hole defines a bolt hole axis oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis and offset from the middle plane.
