The bottom fitting on the surge tank is the high pressure outlet to the 044. The return line from the fuel rail goes to the 3rd highest fitting on the surge tank.You will need to remove theses fittings to get run your new lines.

You need two different sizes. Those clips can be a bit tricky. But once you understand how they clip on there pretty simple to get off.

01txr Member 861 Member For: 18y 4m 15d Gender: Male Location: QLD Posted 03/03/09 11:09 AM Share Posted 03/03/09 11:09 AM why run the return lines to the surge tank, wouldn't it cause frothing or if you are just cruising and the surge is full how can the excess fuel bleed off. wont the fuel rail increase in pressure causing a richer idle / cruise?Wouldn't be better to just run the fuel from tank pump into a filter then to the surge tank then to the injector rail.with the set up you have suggested I would think it would be ok if the pumps had pressure switchs to shut them on and off when required.Or is there a switch already built into the factory system or pump?with the 044 having by memory a 40-45psi rating does that mean it regulates its pump power to that pressure or have some sort of built in on off switch?also mounting in the boot will cause fumes into the cabin and is illegal.
