Default Post pics of your nasty fuel setup

I was just wanting to compare everyone's setups in order to make improvements to my own. I was especially looking for the vapor tube on the tank. Pics of how they are routed and any rolover valves, filters, etc. placed on the tube itself. Also, engine bay pics of regulators and routing of fuel lines. Thanks to all that post. I will put pics of mine up within the week.

I should have some pics up I hope this weekend. I just finished up the install, but I having some trouble getting the fuel pressure to 60psi at an idle. Have you had any problems?

To be honest with you, I've had quite a bit of pump problems myself. I currently have my old aeromotive a1000 pump running the system b/c my weldon 600a was bad. Nate sent me a magnafuel 625 to replace it but I have gotten a chance to install it yet. Apparently I need to cut the AN fitting to make it fit into the pump. Once I have it installed, I let you know my pressure situation.

Well found out my pressure problem was a $30.00 gauge that is bad. I hooked up a spare electric one, and it went up and down , I have it set at 58?

Heres mine, I love it. Gotta change that quick connect fitting to the Earls one straight to the hard line and get rid of the 90* turn it has.

How about joining the fuel rails at the back? I know the fuel rails are huge diameter so there probably isn't much pressure drop on the furthest injector from the incomming fuel, but with this setup would you expect the rear passenger side injector to have less pressure than the rest?

Orignally i had mine linked at the back http://www.solent-renegades.co.uk/ca...ntake_Manifold but then i thought it was possible that my passenger front would have less fuel, so I have joined the rails together at the front too.

Unfortunately there is no room in a C5 to run the line in the back. The MAP sensor is almost practically hitting the firewall as is right now.
