Abstract
A fuel system vibration damper. A damper is affixed to the fuel system drive gear in order to counteract torsional vibration produced in the fuel system drive gear by the fuel system, such as a fuel injection system or a fuel pump. The damper additionally dampens the response of the entire fuel system drive train, thereby reducing engine noise due to gear rattle.
