Fuel Injection Question
I am having a clearance problem with one of my fuel rails hitting the distributor. There does not seem to be a way to get a fitting in the end of the fuel rail for the return line.
I am feeding the fuel rails from the rear fittings which are easily accessible. My question is this; If I plug the fuel rail and just take the return line from the other fuel rail is this going to cause an "imbalance" in the system? |
As far as the fuel pressure goes, if both rails are connected, it shouldn't make a significant difference where your return line bleeds off. You will lose a bit of the lower temperature associated with recirculating fuel though, which may present a problem with a hot-soak condition.

Okay, my local speed shop guru is telling me I need a feed and return line to each fuel rail or a feed to one, acrossover to the other and a return from that one, for the system to work properly. I ma soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo confused, can someone show me the way out???????????????????
I know, I know, somebody is going to ask, "which way did you come in"? That was meant to be a comical note on the citeation!!!!! |

Thanks Hankcar and Chrispy.....the problem is not the height but the girth.....as all men have, ha-ha.......hankcar, the one you suggested does not have the computer module hook up for the 5.0, I checked....and Chrispy, the one you suggested is the one I have......I thought I had it figured out using the option B;
http://www.verycoolparts.com/programming.htm but another member tells me this is not a good idea................ |
Earl,
I think option C would be ideal. As mentioned above you will have fuel recirculating, thus a cooler fuel. The other methad I have seen used is to loop a piece of braided hose around the dist. Straight shot out of each rail. BTW wich injection do you have? I assume the fuel rails are on the inside????? Chris |
