I've replaced the two fuel hoses that connect to the fuel rail (flow and return), but I can't remember which way round they are supposed to go. One hose comes from the passenger side and the other from the driver's side. Can someone please check which goes to the fuel regulator side (right hand connection as you look at the rail connections from the rhs of the car) and which is the return.

Ta muchly.

the one from the drivers side goes to the pressure reg.
on mine its easy to see because i have removed the cam and hence the inlet manifold this weekend and have just been out and checked before the F1 starts.

Hope it helps but just connect them and see how long it won't run for?

I did think of that, but I didn;t want to risk buggering my regulator by pressuring the wrong side. Don;t know for sure it would damage it, but didn;t want to take the risk.

Thanks for your help, and good luck with rebuilding your car. Hope to bump in to you at the growl.

I second that!!
Just been out checking mine,to find that I've also removed both hoses without marking them up-doh!!
(just got plenum and rockers off at the moment)
Luckily,the hose lengths on mine dictate that they can only go one way round (regulator hose to o/s chassis rail,fuel rail hose to n/s chassis rail)Is it me or does everyone seem to have their engines in bits this weekend?!!
