It should! At least you have a week to see if it pops off

Damn you! lol It came off again. I am almost positive. I was just finished the blower and had drove it around some and then I was going through base housing to go off base and grab some food and the speed limit was like 15mph so I was doing about 20 and she started bucking and shit again. Pulled it off the road and no workie.

Popped the hood and pressed in the pressure relief on the pass side fuel rail and no pressure at all. My buddy said we should take a die to the pump and put some threads on it to give the hose something to bite to? We even used a normal band clamp this time so we knew it would grab and ran it way tight.

Will be ordering the correct fuel line today just so I know that isn't causing any problems!

That sucks lol! And mine hasn't fallen off using the gate hose. And band clamps. And unless you have the pumps on, you won't have pressure at the relief valve at the rail. You deleted the pprv (that's its purpose).

Yeah I hooked up my laptop and with the key on and the pump primed I had 0psi fuel rail pressure. Did you flare that nipple or anything like that? Seeing as how it's a straight smooth metal nipple I think it just needs something to grab. I will see what I can work up when my hose gets here. I may have a buddy flare it or something but I don't know if there is enough to work with. I even thought of taking that deleted plastic top piece and taking a file to the larger nipple and seeing if I can get the hose on it.

the non gates hose that's in there now would just split up the side when I tried to run it over it heh.
