So I fired her up after the engine swap. Well I have a massive fuel Leake and thank god it didn't hit the headers and they were not that warm yet. This small fuel line is not hooked up on the back side of the intake. We're the hell dose she go and am I going to have to pull the lower plenum to plug this line in. Please help asap guys I'm not sure we're this stupid thing goes and it's just streaming fuel out of this hose. It's a small fuel hose!

There fuel rails on each side have a in and return. Follow all these lines and see which one is not hooked up.

I just found it. It's the one that's in the back center of the intake. That strait up scared the shit out of me fule just pouring out on the engine. I'm to tired of this kinda non sence this morning.

Glad you found it. That's the line that goes into the fuel pressure regulator, right?

That's the line that goes into that brass looking one next to the fuel pressure reg. It comes strait up from the lower intake. It's a small little nipple really. Has a spring clamp on it. Righr buy the coolant temp sensor under all that gagle **** of wires also.

You've got me scared.

I don't believe there should be a fuel line "nipple" coming out of the lower intake. Should only be to the banjo bolt fitting (supply) on the passenger's side, and from the fuel pressure regulator (return) on the driver's side. From the fuel pressure regulator there's a section of about 5" of hose, then a hardline, then another section of hose.

There are a couple vacuum nipples, and a couple coolant nipples...

Can you take a better picture showing a larger view of the area?

Is he pumping fuel into a vacuum line connector?
 
Pretty sure he's got the right one, there is a nipple-looking line coming from the FPR. It also comes out from the lower intake.

If he has it wrong it's not like he's going anywhere lol.
 
fuel pump test? check.

Hey give me break I have been up for 30 something hours. When I primed the fuel system after getting oil pressure up there was not enouph in the system yet until it ran a minute. Scared the shit out of me.

Let me try. I got it back on and just used the factory spring clamp again no leaks anymore.

Yeah that hose attaches to the lower intake. See attached pic of my extra intake.

pretty sure that's a vaccum or coolant port, Amigo. Not a good spot to store fuel.
 
I'm going to go through each line before I do anything else.

See what has me puzzled is the fact that it was moving fule and the hose is no question fuel hose. So it's a pressure hose if it was moving fuel correct?

So agervated right now.

F'ing amazing. Look what is missing off the return line.

What is going on here?? The thing you circled is the pressure regulator which does have fuel moving through it and back to the gas tank. That line your holding is a piece of that line which attaches to the wheel well. One end goes to the rubber hose that goes to that pressure regulator and the other end goes to another rubber hose which goes down to the metal lines that run back to the fuel tank. That other hose with the fitted connection is the pressure line from your tank to the fuel rail.

One a side note, lets see that pretty green manifold.

Ok so this fuel hose that was f'ing me up is now ran like so. Out the regulator into steel part,then into that hose that I had in my hand that was leaking fuel all over the place. Now it is now connected to the return line. I'm going to triple check this but I think I have it now. Going to follow this steel line and make sure it gets to the tank and not brake system.
