Ok so i purchased a new BDL fuel rail new from a member on ht, and everything is fine i believe. I go to install and everytghing gos normal, Then a day later it leaks, it leaks on one of the bolts that thread for the fuel pressure regulator. I dont know why bdl designed it this way, but only one of the holes out of the 2 go straight into the rail like fuel if that makes sense. So i put teflon tape on it (which i shouldnt have to) and that works great for another day, now im back with the same problem. I installed many rails before and this time its giving me trouble on my own car. gees sucks. haha

lmk with any solutions.

oh and side note. the ony holes that the rail has to the main fuel source is injectors, optional fuel pressure gauge hole (which i have one installed), and the in and out line at the ends of the rail, and also that one under the fpr and in one of the fpr bolt hols, kinda odd but lmk

thanks in advance

 

you should post some pics they might help a little more.

ill try to get pic's tonite. bump

 

ok here is a pic, please check it out. fpg-fuel pressure gauge, fpr- fuel pressure regulator, .1- where it is leaking from, .2 is not leaking. 1 and 2 is where the fpr is bolted on at. Only bolt 1 is leaking. I can blow air through 1 and 2 but 1 is alot less restricted, i dont know why i can blow air through it in the first place. Its just made for bolts to go into, i never heard of any acces for fuel being in these holes, let me know what you guys think i should use to cause it from leaking. Oh and any help is much appreciated.

aprreciate it

 

so get this guys, i find out that bdl makes the thread set shorter, and you are suppose to use shorter bolts, i told the bdl rep that it didnt have instructions to purchase or cut new ones to fit, he was aware of this, nowhere does it say to use shorter bolts, its litterally shy by less then 2mm i would say. but tahts enought to hairline crack it internally. fortunately bdl ind is cool about it and told me to send it back and they will send a new one. so thats cool i guess.

thanks everyone

cliff notes: bdl threads to short, need shorter replacement bolts when installing!!!
