Clamping assembly for a pair of fuel lines and components, systems, and methods thereof

Abstract:

A clamping assembly and components, systems, and methods thereof can comprise a first clamp adapted to be provided around a first fuel line for an internal combustion engine to rigidly clamp the first fuel line to a bracket arrangement; and a second clamp adapted to be provided around a second fuel line for the internal combustion engine, which is spaced from the first fuel line, to clamp the second fuel line to the bracket arrangement such that the second fuel line is movable according to a degree of freedom in a direction of assembly strain. The second clamp can include a bent clip, and the first and second clamps can be aligned with each other or offset by no more than a body length of either the first clamp or the second clamp.
