so your saying the leak has to be from the o-ring or washer? if its not that then it has to be damaged or something?

thank you

CVbikeguy, been watching your thread and didn't expect you to finish this rebuild without giving up and just letting a shop finish it. Your pretty good for a newb.

I was actually thinking of doing the same with my 87 N/A Supra but after seeing all the troubles you went to changed my mind. I whimped out...

Your car looks sweeeet and I wish my Supra is the same...

wow thanks man. yea im pretty sure i got the rest of this down. just a few more tweaks. this car was in bad shape when i got it. after doing this rebuild i realized how little i know and still how little i know about cars. but man after all this knowledge i now know that my car was in bad shape. had a small temptation to part it out......

hahaha nice.

so tomorrow im going to try that out. im so shocked that the o-ring itself and the washer is enough to hold the gas. oh well. should be fine.

on a brighter side. ive been reading the "evosupra" new paint job thread........

some good entertainment.

Think about it, an even smaller O-Ring hold the fuel in the rail where the injectors connect... besides, I suspect the threads (when properly torqued) hold back most of the pressure. The FPR doesn't use a tapered thread (at least not from what I recall) so there's no worry about you having spread the opening too far... if it is tapered and the o-ring doesn't provide the seal, you may indeed be looking for a new fuel rail... But, I don't think that's the case at all.

ok so we tried again tonight. we bought a new o-ring but the gauge was thicker than the original so we tried the old o-ring again and of course it still leaked. and the the copper washers on the attaching union decided to leak. but thats an easy fix. could i possibly also be installing this wrong? do i take the o-ring off of the regulator and fit it in the space on the fuel rail before hand? and then once the ring is in i thread the regulator on? cause the fuel rail has a circular grove on the fuel rail around the threads where the regulator goes in. sorry i hope this is making sense. im kind of in a bind and im getting rides to work from family and im getting pressure to get a new FPR. i have a strong feeling im just missing something. can the nut on the FPR be in any position?
