Which is the supply fuel line?

My stock 94 is not starting and I want to check that fuel is making it to the engine. I see three fuel lines pretty much bundled together. How do I know which one is the supply line? One of them appears to have a yellow dot on it, is that the one?

Thanks,
Rob

I personally don't know but the Factory Service Manual will have that info. You can download the FSM in PDF form from the 3rd gen fAQ thread stickied in this forum. Help yourself.

I actually have the factory service manual and haven't been able to find anything that defines which one is the supply short of trying to trace it to the regulator. I'm hoping to not have to take everything apart to do that.

I think the fuel filter is drivers side engine compartment down by the brake master follow the fuel line up that will be your supply line

In general, the feed line will have the filter upstream. The return line will be connected to the FPR.

return is closest to firewall
middle is the purge control
inbound is the closest to the front bumper

Okay, so I get the return line is closest to the firewall, but the other two are a bit weird. considering they are all mounted to a bracket the is basically L shaped it leaves the other two with one above the other. Given what Mahjik said I would have to bet that the top one would be the inbound?

1=Inbound
2=Purge Control
3=Return
