Morning all,
I have been having a think about my fuel system that is going in and have been trying to figure out a way of reducing the cost on new parts.
is it ok to have the Fuel Pressure Regulator straight after the fuel rail? i have a JIC -6 male at the end of the fuel rail, onto this i want to put
an adapter with a female JIC-6 on one end and male on the other, which has a side input for the fuel pressure gauge to fit into
(ONE OF THESE)
then have a Male to male adapter and have the fuel pressure regulator directly after it?
Good idea or bad idea?
opinions please
Can't see why it wouldn't work. Lots of fuel rails have the regulator directly fixed to it.
i thought that was exactly where it was supposed to go
I would be a bit concerned about vibration and metal fatigue of you're mounting a big chunk of metal by a hose connection that wasn't designed as a mounting point. You don't want high pressure fuel spraying all over the engine bay if the union cracks.
