Description And Operation
The fuel rail supplies the necessary fuel to each individual fuel injector.
- High pressure from the fuel pump is routed to the fuel rail. The fuel rail then supplies the necessary fuel to each individual fuel injector.
- The fuel injection fuel rail is a composite design. The four fuel rail fasteners thread directly into the composite lower intake manifold and are a self-tapping design.
- The lower intake manifold can be serviced without removing the fuel injector rail. The fuel rail and fuel injectors must be installed into the lower intake manifold as an assembly. Do not attempt to install the fuel rail when the injectors are in the manifold.
- Always install new O-rings on the fuel injectors.
- A quick-connect fitting with a safety latch clip is used to attach the fuel line to the fuel rail.
- The fuel rail is not repairable.
CAUTION:
The left and right sections of the fuel rail are connected with either a flexible connecting hose, or joints. Do not attempt to separate the rail halves at these connecting hose or joints. Due to the design of the connecting hose or joint, it does not use any clamps. Never attempt to install a clamping device of any kind to the hose or joint. When removing the fuel rail assembly for any reason, be careful not to bend or kink the connecting hose or joint.
