How to identify inlet fuel line ?

[Andrewkb]

How to ?

 

Need to slap on the Gavinizer leh ...

[Andrewkb]

Attached is a picture of my engine ...

 

The golden metallic rail, I guess is the injector rail right ?

The white object to the right I guess is the fuel regulator ?

 

By right, the fuel regulator should be connected to the outlet fuel line, but in my case, there is only 1 fuel hose connected to the fuel regulator.... cannot find the inlet fuel line ...

 

Can someone help ?

Hi! there, Andrewkb,

 

Your car manual should have the diagram of the fuel inlet line. It should show you from the fuel tank - fuel pump - fuel regulator - injector rail - return line.

 

Another way to determine, remove the hose that you think is the inlet, switch on the ignition key, which will activate the fuel pump to squirt fuel out of the inlet line.

 

Do it with a cold engine, an assistant to turn the key, not start the engine.

Sadly, I don't have the manual, previous owner lost it !

Hi! there, Andrewkb,

 

Check with the other owners and borrow theirs to photo-copy. BTW, what are you driving?

Hi! there, Vtim,

 

Mine has, so does the car manual CD. It also has the diagram for the 3.0L V6.

Hi! there, Andrewkb,

 

I'll see if I can take a look at the parts manual for your car.

if I'm not wrong, the new Honda K-series engines do not have a fuel return line, that is why you can only find one fuel hose connected to the fuel rail. I don't think that white plastic object you circled can even be called a fuel regulator.

Bro difficult to see leh....see if U can take a few close-ups from different angles or get on of our experienced brudder here to check it out for U during meetups.

Hi! there, Andrewkb,

 

I went to take a look at the parts manual for your car today. It seems like the fuel line from the fuel filter goes to a fuel canister, then to the fuel regulator, but it's not named as such. The diagram's abit difficult to understand, as scale is too small, and it's separated from the intake fuel rail, with many parts that I haven't come across.

 

I got a big headache standing over it, looking at the diagram and can't decide on how it's suppose to end up on the fuel rail.

WOW ! Where did you find the parts manual ?

 

Anyway, I can't seems to identify the fuel filter too.

 

Probably gotta let you guys see the car in person ....

[Andrewkb]

I will try to take close up picture of the area... but a bit tough, coz the hoses are mostly concealed, or hidden below other hoses.

As such, I doubt the photo will show up clearly.

"let you guys see the car"

 

Hi! there, Andrewkb,

 

I went to Tanly Motor to borrow the parts manual for the Stream.

wow ... you sure have kangtao .... anyway .... I think I got the line correct ... managed to find a Japanese website where they place magnet on the "fuel line" ...

 

However, they are really amaturer ! They actually use those magnet for sticking to the wall !

 

Which make me also wonder if they got the fuel line right !

 

Look at this:

Hi! there, Andrewkb,

 

They're my customers, so I can borrow whenever I'm there, as I couldn't get it at Leong Kai, over at Syed Alwi Rd.
