Default Stock 5.0 fuel rail question

On the passenger side rail, which is the fuel in and which is the fuel return?

The larger one is the fuel supply and the smaller is the return.

The hard lines going into the rails look the same size... I was hoping to avoid crawling under it cuz I'm being lazy.


I officially hate spring locks too. That is all.

Same thing from the topside..the larger diameter springlock, which you hate, is the feed and the smaller one is the return. The Schrader valve is on the feed line which is the one going into the square block on the front end of the rail. The one rearing its ugly head from the middle of the rail is the return. Is that enough hints or shall I make you crawl under the car?

I just got back from under the car and have it all figured out.

As far as I can tell without getting a micrometer, the spring locks are the same size. I had to follow them back to where the softline meets the hardline under the k-member.


Just for the record, it's one specific spring lock that I hate. The one on the AC line going through the firewall. No room to work with my oversized paws.


Anybody need any A/C parts?

Dayum! I was too late!

BTW, I hate the springlocks too. They make me bleed every time. Fortunately, they are all gone from my car. But now I hate braided steel hoses even more. They make me bleed worse.

Nope, I can't find any 9 fingered ones and can't stand to have one of the fingers flopping around everywhere.

Derek, I try not to let anything with the word BLADE in it's name come anywhere near my fingers any more. Momma didn't raise no foo!

Going slow but about to pick up a little. Dragin's supposed to do a little work for me on Wed. I've been driving it around a little listening to it whine. So much for stealth mode.
