Default can you revers the fuel line ??

is it possible to reverse the fuel line from fuel filter to fuel rail? its angled differently at the ends and may fit the make mor room for the intake tube. RIght now the way the line is it rubs against the intake tube.

or does the fuel line go one way?

dude its got banjo fittings on either side of it, its just a stupid pipe. Theres no specific direction. Try attempting things, if it doesnt work than put it back the way it was. Its not like your car is going to self destruct.

Reversing the fuel line will cause fuel to flow back into the gas tank, causing the tank to over fill and gas come out the gas cap.

No, not really.

A banjo fitting is not flow directional. Think about this (to ease any consern), there is a banjo fitting on both ends of the hose. If it did matter, then one end would have to be different in order to allow flow in that direction.

If the banjo fittings are the same size, then have fun and swap it around.

the banjo fitting on both sides are same diameter but one side has this depression around the inner circumference and the other does not so i dont think it would work it prob would leak. also becuase of the bend on one side it wont clear the side of the fuel filter so it doesn work. ill just get a custom fuel line kit
