Do you need to fit a bleed valve in the fuel line/fuel rail ?

Cheers

Cant think of a reason to - I never have (since any air is cleared back to the tank in the return line )

Cheers Claire,

I am using a modified Vauxhall Omega V6 fuel rail and it has one fitted !

Just wanted to check with the gurus on here b4 I removed it

It's probably for putting a pressure gauge on , to check fuel pressure when dealer serviced ?

It may be to release pressure for maintenance procedures as well.

Sounds like your close to getting it running Clive? What have you done for your inlet manifold?

Got the RPI Boxer manifold I was after.Going to fit 4 x 48mm throttle bodies and 8 injectors.

Hope it all works when I finally get it all assembled
