BIG PROBLEM!!

big problem.. i was reinstalling my adfpr since the top bolt seemed to get stuck and un able to adjust my pressure or lower it.. so one of the six torx bolt broke in side the thread of the fueal rail .. the end part.. the head of the bolt broke... i was unable to take it out.. so i kinda drilled right in the middle with a really really samll drill... and it went right through.. unfortunately it was imposible to take it out.. left it as is and but a little bit of jb weld just in case gas flows through.. would this be safe using 5 instead of 6 bolts to hold down the bbk fpr... it looks to me like its not leaking any gas or such.. i dont want to drive it unless it looks safe...

You could find the thread size, drill it, and tap it.

If all else fails you can get a complete FPR housing from GM but it is no cheap.

If you are looking for someone on this site to say "sure its fine just use the 5. It will work excellent" I doubt anyone will tell you this. Use common sense and ask yourself if this does leak and catches fire is it worth it?

I would try it. The worst it can do is leak. Put it back together prime the system a few times. If all is dry and good test it out.
