I don't know how, but those pics are waaaay to small to see. They come out about 150X150 pixels. Just thought I'd let you know.

ok one of them has the feed line that goes to the Fuel filter to the FRP than ys into both rails and the ends of the prim and sec rail are caped to hold pressure


the other way the feed comes into the engine bay to the fuel filter it y's and it goes to the prim and sec rail and then to the FPR and then it is returned
which is the right way? thanks

atihun: hopefully it is a complement ....i really liked it, hope you don't mind
I have used it for a very long time, funny only now you have seen it

Would it work properly this way, wouldn't it be more likely to hold air in the system if the return didn't even come past the injectors?

Arent all fuel rails run this way?
What would be the benefit of running it your way? Less line?

I would think that it wouldn't be a good idea to run it that way.

No problem at all. I'm out of town so I wasn't logged in; that is how I saw it. When I am normally logged in, I have avatars turned off so that is why I never saw it.

Thanks!

marc, the attatchments you linked are not working for me, but what you are describing is a returnless system. also you would not put your regulator before the injectors.
also, the pic rotary power posted is of shawnk's fuel system with my rails (same ones you have). instead of using a Y block shawn used a T fitting to accomplish the same thing. they are not run in a series. it is the same effect as if you used a Y further down than if you used the T he chose....
