phase 1 & 2 fuel rail

[c7borg]

does anyone have a picture of a phase 1 and 2 fuel rail.. I think the phase 1 has a regaulator where as a phase 2 does not.. but I'm confused slightly as on mine (phase2) it looks like it has some kind of regualtor on it..

any help apreciated

Very early Ph1's have a return system to the tank which requires the use of a regulator on the rail. Later on they swapped to a non return system but used the same fuel rail blank, hence the regulator housing is still moulded on with the rail....however it is redundant.

Its pretty easy to tell which is which as the rail will either be blind or open into the regulator housing..........

Ahh.. I just assumed a bit was missing.. I'll look more closley when I get home, although as you say it'll probably be blank.

yes

I have a few more pics of the original conversion on my site.. www.gomodit.co.uk I decided to go for the 172 for a bit of economy, reliablity and a just a change.

does anyone know if the phase 1 fuel rail is the same on another car like a peugoet? or where I can get hold of one?
