Fuel Line

ok...where should i be looking for my fuel line when i go to jack up my car tomorrow? is it viewable? i know its on the driver's side because it enters the engine bay from the driver's side and leaves the fuel tank to the driver's side. i was just wandering down anyone know exactly where it runs through.

reason: i have a feeling i have a fuel leak in the line. checked the connections in the engine bay and the fuel tank. my gas mileage has decreased dramatically and everytime after i give it a some throttle i come to a stop and smell a strong scent of gas. im going to check it out tomorrow. so any advice is welcomed.

While your at it check your return line and make sure your pressure regulator isn't screwed up and returning fuel to the tank.

Into the 600hp range. The stock Z32 fuel pump is used as an upgrade in alot of cars, especially lower level Nissans when adding a turbo.

Re: Fuel Line

is the stock Z32TT fuel pump strong enough to support 555cc injectors?
