This car is also getting a billet intake manifold so he doesn't have to worry about the rubber boots ripping and sucking dirt into the enginehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180530/c5278a1bf1736305938ab90fa1314e90.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180530/3c139ff3f54cd83ae6bda566d398aa5e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180530/cc50ddf40ef869dec19cddedd8d5ce1e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180530/04665ff621884af62fc14f466f3d4e7b.jpg

I did these upgrades to mine. Ben, you installed the billet intake and shared your source for the billet rail and stainless steel feed line. I can’t say that it makes it run noticeably better, but I feel so much better knowing that my potential of a fuel fire is greatly reduced. Especially after seeing Ed’s car catch on fire due to a plastic fuel line fitting break.

The fitting breaking is something that just dosen't happen,but as you know there's a fix for that too!

The fitting does break and there is others on this forum that were with me when the little 90 degree elbow broke on mine !! I think the issue is that for the most part when there is a fire they burn to the ground and when they are looked at the fuel rail is puffed up and opened so that is what everyone sees and blames the elbow is melted and gone !!

I agree with installing the fuel rail but feel it's a waste unless you also replace the the fuel line with the plastic elbow that broke on mine !!

.The link I sent you and Jeff for that Steel braided fuel line conversion and fuel rail is a good idea and I've installed quite a few of them,,,but it's still not 100% bullet proof system,as they still use the plastic end on the fuel pump side,if that breaks it still going to shoot fuel all over the place, but at least the end on the rail is a improvement as that where all the heat is..

This is what I was talking about,that fitting is still plastic, That's the one that snaps over the fuel sending unit under the passenger sethttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180530/f2b4d79ff3fa8f3ffdf966d9c31cb708.jpg

I haven't really looked at my rzr because I'm not going to be replacing it anyway but on the one I have there is a fitting that looks like you would replace at the pump and an end like on the other end of your hose in the picture !!
