Default Help(professional products fuel rails

Well I'm putting together parts for my build, I purchased a fast 90 and 36lb injectors. I was going to get fast fuel rails but was trying to save Money so I bought professional products fuel rail kit(10612). I purchased it off eBay. The kit was said to be new and unopened. I received it and it and it seems to be missing hardware and fittings. Also the feed line has no fitting on it( looks to be cut). Some of the fitting have wrench marks too. Has anyone had this kit and knows what it should include. Thanks for the help

The op hasn't had the "opportunity" to see the fittings leak at the rail threads..

Have had 2 sets of that product leak like a sieve. We ended up welding the fittings in, and having the rails powder coated.
IMO, rails that have pipe threads instead of o'ring seals, are not the way to go.

I don't recall getting any fittings but my rails came with the manifold.
All I got were the nuts and bolts and brackets.

I used Jegs and Russel fittings and teflon paste, and have had no leaks.
I have heard the rail extrusions can be cracked if overtightened and
stayed well away from that. Not sure what would make one chunk of
extruded aluminum better than another.

When I purchased my Professional Products fuel rails the box was opened and missing parts. It took a return to get them replaced. I have heard about leaks from the fittings, but mine do not leak. I use Teflon tape. Judging by the photo, I do see some parts you are missing. One is the adapter to connect to the factory fuel rail. It is silver in color. Other parts are the screws, nuts and washers for mounting the rails to the intake manifold.

Mine had missing parts as well. And wrench marks. But mine were from Speedinc. Wasn't too impressed with that one.. Thought I was getting a set of "house" rails.

And watchout.. That crossover line was rubber on mine and not Teflon like it should be.

Yeah I had a feeling I shouldn't have bought from this seller. I've emailed them 3 times without a response. Guess I'll have to open a case. I would like to put the seller name out but I will give it a few more days. And I will be dropping $300 more on fasts rail and fast kit

I just got a NEW UNOPENED kit and I had more pieces than that.



The fuel line underneath the top rail was 100% complete and not cut like yours. My crossover was teflon and not rubber. Well so it appears. I ordered mine through summit. And if you notice, it is all wrapped in plastic

Wow that looks alot better than mine. I opened a case with eBay so I have to wait 72h. Hopefully this gets worked out soon. Do not buy from cheapestpartsintown2011. They will not even email me back. I really hate to ruin their rep. But they had it coming

were tried by the cars owner. That's when I got involved.
He had gone so far as to put the rails in a vise and "crank'em down"..Still leaked.

1 word: JUNK

I had them and got rid of them after 2 weeks. Couldn't get it to stop leaking and Had them blow off the injectors once. Got a set of FAST rails and slept a lot easier after.

Don't cheap out on fuel parts... Cheap out on a shifter or exhaust, but not something that has the potential to burn your car to the ground.
