Pressure drop when using a fuel rail type carb feed?


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any opinions on this. It is obvious that fuel pressure regulators are not designed to be blocked off on one side and directed into a fuel rail. Are there fuel rails with one inlet that are designed better?

It does make alot of sense that when using a fuel rail type design to feel your carb that the fuel pressure would be different after it branches off the first time.

I'm not sure what you are asking.

 

The first link is not a regulator. It's a pressure guage with a built in filter.

 

The second is a typical dual feed setup and the third link is just a dual feed line.

 

If you're asking if one feed line needs a bigger volume of gas I would say yes in theory, but I have never seen anybody go out of their way to design a line or log that would do that. I've seen them facing forwards and backwards and not make a difference.

 

Hope that answers the question
