Exclamation GSL-SE FPD delete? Urgent

Hi guys. Supposed to be leaving TODAY for a race with the car and found that the FPD (fuel pulsation dampener) is leaking. Is there a quick easy fix that can be found at a local parts store?
I see Banzai and others has a banjo bolt for it but I need a fix NOW.
Thanks in advance!

There are 2 Pulsation Dampers- one at the fuel rail, and one on the Fuel Pump. Most people notice the leaking at the Injector Rail. Try removing the plastic cap and see of the little Phillips head screw is in there. If not, find it and thread it back in place with a little thread lock on it and then pressurize and look for leaks.

Otherwise, a new PD is in your future. Don't run with it leaking - that's asking for an engine fire, as it's on the side with the exhaust. Mazda saw fit to install a matching pair to prevent pressure spikes at the Inectors, so you'll become your own test pilot if you bypass it. This is a common problem on Gen2 FCs, so maybe ask over there to see how they handle it. Good luck,

Thanks. We got a temp fix. Will either replace or remove. It's a common problem on the FDs as well.
