    Need Help. People with "Y" fuel rail fittings

    As the title suggests, can anyone who has aftermarket fuel rails and has the rear cross over in a "Y" formation, please post pics and let me know where you got it or how it was assembled? I think I need to go that route very soon, to prevent any future fuel leaks.. :(

    I did a "T", but you might find some of the info useful. Here was my thread when I installed them:

    Here is my thread - Fuelish Thinking......

    I also did a T

    Knowing what I do now, I woudl be very very tempted to run a full -6an line from the tank to the rail. That would be able the only thing I would change.

    well here is my problem, is that i have an "F", and the only way I could squeeze everything back there, it puts alot of weight on teh back of the fuel rail. Basically the only thing from keeping the front injectors from springing a leak are the 2 tiny little screws that hold down my half covers. I took my cover too today, and the front injectors started leaking and spraying a bit. I put the screws back in and they are ok, but I hate thinking that two little screws are basically keeping my car from burning down. Is there any other way to keep the fuel rails down securely into the manifold??

    Need some good ideas badly.

    I don't know what brand fuel rails you're running or what your whole set-up is, but I would put a front cross-over on to equalize the weight and then use some wide washers on the hold downs.

    They are CPR fuel rails from BMC, on a 5.7. I had to modify the manifold to make it fit. The only way I can do a front crossover is to have the hose go over the TB instead of under and that wont work for me because it will rub on the hood I have, and it wont fit underneath the TB :(

    Yea I think I need something like those. Maybe a better question is what do you guys use to hold down the fuel rails better than those 2 little screws on each one?
