How to convert PH2 172 fuel rail to PH1?

[Andrew Cooke]

I'm transplanting a PH2 172 engine into a different shell, and can't use the clio fuel pump/collector/regulator unit. How do I modify the fuel rail to use a regulator? It looks like I can fit the regulator out of the tank, so it should just be a case of drilling some holes.... How does the fuel return line attach to the fuel rail? More to the point, where can I get the parts required/ part numbers etc..

Thanks
Andy

Can you not just buy a Ph1 rail?

sure, if anyone has one for sale. I'll still need the fuel connector though.

the rail is about £15 from renault

the reg is nearer to £40 (but comes with the seals) and you need the clip (#9 - about a quid)

Andy I have the 3 bar fpr and clip that will fit the phase 1 rail if you want

Send me a DM with your email address and I can send you instructions how to modify the sender and the rail.

It's basically drilling a hole from the round end bit where the ph1 reg would go, into where it's blanked off for no.1 injector.

We had to do it years ago at Fred's when Niall's brother's Ph1 rail got damaged.

Sorry to resurrect this guys, has anyone had any success doing this? I need one for my turbo conversion but Renault no longer supply or have stock of them and 2nd hand ones don’t exist

Well it is not that hard to create one, but you have to be very patient to shave inside ph2 fuel rail to obtain a nice surface so that O ring from regulator can seal. I can help you with some pictures of how it should look in the end. PM me
