56605, fuel system upgrade
Posted by xtreme96gs, Aug-04-03 02:25 PM
ok guys...i posted this the other day and got no replies at all...maybe cuz it was in the general section, maybe cuz i didnt go into enough detail- so im gonna fix both of those problems:) I have a venom fuel rail and adjustable AEM fpr. I want to put these on but dont quite understand the concept for some reason. Mainly because the venom rail has an opening for fuel lines on both sides whereas the factory only has 1 line. Do I have to add a return line to my fuel system or what . Someone please point me in the right direction.
p.s. I already did a search and couldnt come up w/ anything helpful.

THANKS!!

Yes, your going to have to run a return line. You'll need about 10 foot of fuel line (get it a Sears hardware for 1.69/ft) and some hose barbs from Home Depot so you can splice into your fuel tank under your back seat. You'll have to take out your back seat. Under there you'll find at circle metal plate with a few screws. Your fuel lines are under there coming from your tank. Disconnect your battery and release the pressure on your fuel system. Splice into your existing lines, fish your your return line up from underneath the car to your new connection (hose barb) under the back seat - you'll find a pretty clear path. Zip tie your return line along your existing metal fuel lines under the car - they are on the passanger side and just follow them up into the engine bay to your new rail. cha-ching - your done.
Good luck.
