Why the line from tank to rail?

Why the line from tank to rail?

Since I've started driving the car there has always been a fuel smell but no major fuel leaks. I finally got around to fixing it, it turned out I had a few issues. The sending unit had no gasket and half the studs on top are broken off. Also, the hose section was seeping at the crimps. I decided to just replace it all and make it look better too.

Ah, good call. Yea when the car got parted I didn't recall what pump went back in. I thought I had a 255 before I went to the double pumped setup? When parting a car, fixing bad gaskets and such aren't really top priorities, I just wanted to get rid of everything.

Anyways, glad you got it all sorted out and are doing things the right way! This thing is def headed in the right direction.

Pic of the new fuel line/ filter, today ill be installing a prosport fuel pressure gauge, and a prosport egt gauge. Ill post pics after install.

I don't get why these pics keep loading sideways.

Install of the EGT gauge and sensor was a breeze thanks to a previously tapped manifold I bought from Carltalon a few months back. The fuel pressure gauge install went well too, except it reads 10psi high. I contacted prosport and ill be measuring the resistance of the sensor tomorrow to test it. I like the how the gauges are either white (daytime), or blue (nighttime). I wired them so they come on white, I hit the fog light switch to change to blue.

Also, my brand new Prosport fuel pressure gauge reads 10psi high, I tested the resistance of the sending unit and was out of spec. Prosport shipped a new sending unit today.
