99+ have a return less fuel system right. so that has to be the supply line right?

rydog · September 11th, 2007, 09:41 AM

Yes that is the supply line but that not the regulator that a suppresor the regulator is on the front right corner of the fuel rail

juan310 · September 11th, 2007, 01:36 PM

oh alright. the regulator is that box looking thing on top of the schrader valve right. what does the suppressor thing do?

rydog · September 11th, 2007, 01:40 PM

Yes

its like a fuel dampner when the injectors fire they pulse and it supresses the fuel to keep the pressure in the fuel rail as consistant as possible

Rusted lines? Why are you replacing it?

juan310 · September 11th, 2007, 02:28 PM

^ long story but yeah i fucked up the end going to the filter and right now i just have a piece of hose patching it up. so need to replace it asap!!!!

juan310 · September 11th, 2007, 05:29 PM

ima buy some ss braided hose. they sell them in 10 and 15 ft. is 10 ft enough to reach there all the way from the filter? or should i get 15ft

rydog · September 11th, 2007, 05:31 PM

from the fuel filter to the dampner 10ft should be enough

juan310 · September 11th, 2007, 05:37 PM

cool...summit has some 10ft Russell ProFlex Hose for 45 bucks....i want to measure it but dont have nothing to measure with. i want to be sure and not fall short. i would get the 15 ft but its like 20 bucks more

rydog · September 11th, 2007, 05:40 PM

Use a piece of string tape it to one end and then stretch it to the other and cut it off pull the string out and measure it and you have your length

juan310 · September 11th, 2007, 06:14 PM

thanks ill try that....let me find some string

juan310 · September 12th, 2007, 03:47 PM

just measured it with a measuring tape. came out to be a little under 12ft

rydog · September 12th, 2007, 03:53 PM

cool guess you need the 15ft then

juan310 · September 12th, 2007, 04:04 PM

the 15ft summit hose is on back order. so i think ima order this hose from jegs for 55 bucks. is there another place thats cheaper?

done just ordered that jegs hose and just ordered a duckbill fitting from rons performance. hopefully ill get all my shit to put it on this weekend

juan310 · September 14th, 2007, 09:42 PM

just got the hose today. duckbill fitting should be here on Monday so i gotta sit this one out over the weekend. what do i use to trim the ss braided hose? a hacksaw?

juan310 · September 19th, 2007, 02:44 AM

ok so it took me about 3 hours or so but i was able to get the old line off. it was difficult to get out from under the car so i cut it in half with one of those spinning pipe cutters and was able to pull it out. installed new hose easily. duckbill fittings snapped on perfectly onto filter. made sure all clamps were on super tight. car started perfectly. checked for leaks under the car and under the hood....none watsoever.

still having the same problem. i cant rev it past 4k and car hesitates while accelerating after a while of driving. ima check my fuel pressure as soon as i buy a gauge so i can pinpoint the problem and say w/o a doubt its my fuel pump. but i really had to repair my line first b4 anything else
