Abstract
A clip is used to retain a bottom feed fuel injector in an injector seat cavity of a fuel rail, the clip having a pair of legs engaging the fuel rail and a bridging portion cutout to receive one side of the fuel injector to retain the fuel injector in the seat cavity. Various release devices allow convenient disengagement of the legs with fuel rail protrusions used to secure the legs in a first embodiment of the clip. The clip wraps around the fuel rail in a second embodiment.
