Looking for pictures of a upgraded fuel system in the engine compartment.
What i'm going to be doing is installing SS fuel lines in my car. I plan on running a 850/1300 setup with the stock rails and a upgraded fuel pressure regulator. I'd like anyones pictures showing how they routed the lines, and what fittings they used. Not to mention what size of SS line. I want to make this look very clean, and simple as possiable. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, CJ

If i still had my UIM off i'd show you but i dont so i'll just tell you and be as exact as i can.
-8 Feed Line with a 90* hose end
that connects to
-8 male on the end of my K2RD 2nd fuel rail
out of the 2nd rail come a staight male -6
to a 90* -6 hose end and a hose looping down to a 45* angle hose end, hooking up to the front side of my primarys.
Out the other side of the primary block is a 45* -6 that runs to a straight -6 hose end that screws up to the -6 input on the left side of my SX FPR.
45* -6 out of the bottom of the FPR back to the tank.
Now i just read you post again and you noted how you wanted to use stock rail, oh well, there you go.
Any question let me know.

Are you having a problem getting the fitting onto the end of the ss hose itself? If so, you just put the collar over the end of the hose first, the push the "inner" piece of the fitting onto the end. Then, with two wrenches, you need to tighten the two pieces of the fitting together. This is what clamps down and holds the fitting to the end of the hose.

Hey Tyson, are you running two fuel filters? It looks like you have one on the feed and on the return line.

Look closer. I have 2 pumps, 2 pressure lines and one return. The return line crosses behind the filters in that picture.

Actually, I hadn't noticed that. Are you T-ing the two feed lines together before the FPR?

If you look at Vosko's, he is coming into the primary rail, out to the secondary rail and into the regulator. The return line comes out the bottom of the regulator and goes back to the tank. He has the same regulator I do, but has one of the inlet ports plugged.

I have a bunch of picture around here of my setup if you want to search for them. I'd take the time to post them but I'm stuck on dial up right now.
Boohoo.
