pipes on backwards ?

 

[mckenziecz]

hey frank, no i dont think they are is the fuel going into the fuel presure regulator and return pipe from the other side of the rail? ive put the old one back on and nothing . maybe i just shouldn't mess with cars.

 

[mckenziecz]

I was trying to do the same swap the other day for the 1.6 fuel rail and injectors, but found the vacuum pipe to the pressure regulator wasn't long enough for the new one, as the inlet is pointing the other way. Any ideas where i could get a new longer pipe from?
