2008 R1 fuel pump
-matt - 5/11/10 at 10:16 PM

Ive just fitted a R1 pump into the bottom of my fuel tank and have noticed there are 2 nozzles.

Obviously 1 goes to the fuel rail, but where does the other go to?

Here is a pic:

Fuel return, from the fuel rail.

^^^^^ Correct!

Ah ok i assumed that went into the top of the tank.

Is the Return the right angled one or the straight one?

Hi firstly that pump is not for a 08 r1 thats for a 03 to 06 as this model has a fuel return from the rail
the 08 dosnt have a return that pump will not work on a 08 r1 as there is no regulator in the pump

do not try and start engine with that pump you will blow a fuel pipe or a injector

also all r1 feed pipes are angled

Ah cheers.

Just had a look at the pic on the ebay listing and there is only 1 nozzle so they have obviously sent me the wrong one.

Also if there is no return what is the second fuel connection for on the fuel rail?

The 08 r1 only has 1 fuel connector on the rail

send me a piccy and ill see if you have correct fuel injectors
