So as smart as I am I decided that after an absolutly seamless and quick (4hrs ish) Plenum Repair on my 97 Ram, that i was going to help the metal fuel line into the plastic fuel rail by using the end of a screwdriver for some light tapping...


BROKE THE FREAKING FUEL RAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Other than that the fix went well, lots of oil on the inside of the intake, lining the walls in a wavy pattern.

So other than the fact that i am a complete and total moron, I have to take the day off work tomorrow, bum a ride of my little brother, out of town about an hour to go and pick up a used fuel rail. 200.00 Oh yeah, thats if they have one

 

I hate when that happens. I hope you get it fixed up painlessly enough.

 

$200 for a used fuel rail? I guess the thread title is right! Hope you get it fixed. The fuel rails rust out and I could see how you can break if it is rusty enough. But how did you break it, show us a picture.

 

I guess the 1994 guys have benefits. No plug in tuners but we have metal fuel rails.

Ill give you a deal on my extra METAL fuel rail, you can have it for $150 shipped, lol.

 

He has a plastic fuel rail.

 

I thought All our trucks have metal fuel rails. My 1999 does, your 1994 does, why does his 1997 not?

 

Yeah? I had thought it was metal, thats why I was tapping the bracket for the fuel line. The square thing with the blue o ring in it.[IMG]file:///Users/kuziwr/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot.jpg[/IMG]

 

I have never seen one like that in all the trucks I have looked at in junkyards. Interesting.

Maybe its a Canadian thing. To the Possum Van!

 

I've done much, much dumber things in the shop before. Don't hate yourself too bad for that one.. lol

 

my 99 has metal fuel rails, so does my brothers 01, even our Front Yard Engine has metal rails. but at $200 for 1 rail, im sitting on a gold mind! lol
