Volvo penta 4.3 2006 fuel rail injector socket detached

[fran67]

Hi All,
The socket of one of the injectors in my 4.3 Penta GXI-E detached from the fuel rail.
Dealer prince is over 1200 US dollars for the whole rail.
Looking for alternatives
knowing this is a fuel high pressure need some strength to hold.
Can this be welded or somehow re-attached to the rail with something?
I found a very similar on Ebay with a different part number and advertised for engines 2007 and up, by any chance anyone know if those can be exchanged?

Thank you

Are you talking about the "retainer" item 28 part number 3858970?

Thank you for reply but no, not the retainer, i am talking about the actual piece welded to the rail that holds the injector and retainer to the rail.
From the same graphic the nipple protruding on the lower side of the rail and where the injector seat.

Thank you

Sorry but I have no idea of fixing that part

There are boat ‘salvage yards’ that may be able to get you a used one. I looked on eBay as well and a too good to be true popped up for a 4.3, not sure it’s the proper fit but worth checking. Here is the link.

The fuel rail is a GM part.

However a good tig welder can weld the cup back on

While this one is sold, here's a good photo of your part number in question to maybe help match up what ESGWheel found, https://www.ebay.com/itm/2660723454...=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

And of course call to confirm but this place suggests they have one in stock and is about the lowest cost I had seen for a OEM Volvo part number, might be worth considering too, https://discountvolvopentaparts.com/3859018-Volvo-Penta-Volvo-Penta-Sterndrive?search=3859018

I am sure they are not welded on but silver soldered. An easy fix for a half decent welding shop.
