New fuel line connections

Post by Bhart »

Just want to confirm the flow direction of the fuel lines going to and from the fuel rail on my '87 S38 M6. RealOEM shows this as pressurized fuel from the pump going into the rail and the regulator bleeding off the excess pressure via the external pipe to the tank - is this correct?

Yes, that's correct. And #6 is the vacuum line that controls the fuel pressure regulator.
