fuel rail on a v6

Steve42 · 13th September 2018, 19:55

hi all ,
my fuel pipe that connects to the fuel rail on the front bank has come away (long story)

does this push fit back into the fuel rail. I can see three sliver prongs as if it needs to be pushed back into place.
or do I need a new connector .

on the good side my fuel pump works well as I have found out as it pumped fuel across the coil pack

thanks

steve

If all is well, it should pop back in and be fine. It might need a turn or two to start.

I would question why it has come out, though. If it can't be held securely then that could be a fire risk.

There is normally a small nylon tab moulded into the rail that secures the metal plate in position, check this hasn't broken off, if it has you will need a new rail as it will come off at some point if its not clipped in.

thanks all . will give it ago in a bit.
was a error by the garage.
thought he had put it back in fully
but when driving the pressure looks like it pushed it back out.
so lets hope it goes back ok .

thanks all
