Reply to "IR injection maintenance"

I think the tube is probably flared on each end and sits into a machined inverted flare seat similar to a Holley carb with a tube nut.

There is no compression fitting because the mounting of either extrusion is held firmly in place by the mounting to the injectors and there are probably mounting tabs on each extrusion as well that bolt at some point to either the throttle bodies or the manifold.

I looked for details on that particular rail but don't see any.

If you get stuck on something try Dennis at Colorado Pantera Performance. He most likely did the original design on the system.

The Byers brothers at Precision Proformance probably know as well.

Neither of these guys like to post details like this on the internet.

I personally would remove them both of the rail assemblies and replace all of the orings in the assembly.

They are highly likely just off the shelf items you can get at any auto parts dealer in the "o-ring" assortments variety packs.

Here is where you get to use that little ratcheting 90 degree screw driver to get those screws out. If you happen to strip them, then you will discover why people use a torqs head bolt in there?

It should not be a major ordeal.

There will be a short learning curve.


Those fuel rails look like the REDLINE fuel rails.
