Re: Fuel return line question

Thanks for the info, I'm amazed that you would know that the 14mm line is the return line off the top of your head. I hope some Miniram guys will chime in on the answer about the return line on the back of that.

Re: Fuel return line question

On the MR, its the one going to the fuel rails and filling the injs. If its a newer on the regulator is on the dr side rail and the line coming off the bottom(?) of the regulator is the return.

Re: Fuel return line question

Ya its brand new, so the driver side/regulater side line is the return line? One more question, Tuned Perf said the 14mm line is the return line, I'm at work so I can't get to the car. Are the nuts really different sizes? I thought they were the same.

Re: Fuel return line question

You'll have adapters for your stock fuel lines. Your stock lines are diff sizes but MRs are the same size.

The thread is 14mm the nut size is larger the return is the smaller of the two lines. The feed is 16mm fragola make the Saginaw to an6 for pretty cheap.
The feed on the mini ram would got to the rails and the return is the line off the regulator.

Re: Fuel return line question

Cool, so the smaller line is the return line in the car, now I get it. I knew I was missing something. And please don't send me a bill, the new Miniram cost a fortune.
