Fuel Rails

Q: What do fuel rails do?

The fuel rail acts as a high-pressure distribution manifold for your engine's EFI system . Think of it as a 'common gallery' that holds a specific volume of fuel under constant pressure right above the intake ports. Equalization: It ensures that every fuel injector—from cylinder 1 to cylinder 8—receives the exact same amount of fuel at the same pressure. Dampening: It helps absorb 'pressure pulses' created by the injectors' opening and closing rapidly, which could otherwise interfere with fuel atomization. Mounting: It serves as the physical housing that secures the fuel injectors into the intake manifold.

Q: What are the symptoms of a bad fuel rail?

While a fuel rail is a solid component, it can 'fail' through leaks, clogs, or sensor issues. Common symptoms include: Fuel Smell or Visible Leaks: The most common failure is at the injector O-ring seats or the rail's end caps. Even a pinhole leak in a high-pressure EFI system is a major fire hazard. Engine Misfires or Hesitation: If the rail is dented or clogged with debris, certain cylinders may not get enough fuel, causing a 'lean' condition and stuttering under load. Hard Starting: If the rail cannot maintain 'rest pressure' (usually due to a bad check valve or fuel rail pressure sensor ), the fuel will bleed back to the tank, requiring long cranking times to re-prime the system. 'Whining' Noises: A restriction in the rail can cause the fuel pump to work harder, leading to an audible hum or whine from the pump. Check Engine Light (CEL): Sensors on the rail may trigger codes like P0190 (Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit) or P0171 (System Too Lean) .

Q: How to remove fuel injectors from the fuel rail?

Some fuel rails use plastic 'squeeze-tab' connectors. To disconnect these, firmly press the two plastic tabs on the sides of the connector inward toward the line, then push the line slightly toward the rail before pulling it away. This movement helps release the internal locking mechanism.

Q: Do fuel rails increase HP?

Once the fuel rail is unbolted from the intake manifold and lifted: Step 1: Remove the metal retaining clips (C-clips) that hold the injector to the rail. Step 2: Firmly grasp the injector body and pull it straight out of the fuel rail cup. Step 3: Inspect the O-rings. If they are cracked or flattened, they must be replaced to prevent high-pressure leaks in your fuel system .

High-Performance EFI Fuel Rails & Systems for GM LS Engines

Upgrade your EFI Fuel System with EVIL ENERGY’s precision-engineered fuel rails. Whether you are finishing a high-horsepower build or an LS swap, our fuel delivery components are designed to provide the consistent pressure and volume required to feed thirsty V8 engines.

Our collection features a wide range of fitments, including specialized LS1 fuel rails and LS2 fuel rail kits, ensuring a perfect seal and bolt-on compatibility with both OEM and aftermarket intake manifolds.

Optimized Fuel Delivery for Every Build

The fuel rail is more than just a pipe; it is a critical pressure vessel. Our rails feature a larger internal bore to dampen pressure pulses and prevent fuel starvation during wide-open throttle.

LS1 Fuel Rails: Specifically designed for the cathedral port intake manifolds found on the legendary LS1 and LS6 engines.
LS2 Fuel Rail Kits: Precision-machined to accommodate the shorter injector heights and specific mounting points of the LS2 platform.
LS3/L92 Integration: For those running late-model 6.2L heads, we offer integrated Single Plane EFI Intake Manifold & Fuel Rail Kits, providing a 'one-stop' solution for top-end airflow and fuel management.

Why Choose EVIL ENERGY Fuel Rail Kits?

Billet Aluminum Construction: All our fuel rails are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for superior strength and corrosion resistance against modern ethanol-blended fuels.
Comprehensive EFI System Kits: To simplify your installation, we offer bundled Intake Manifold & Fuel Rail Kits. These kits eliminate the guesswork of fitment and bracket alignment.
High-Pressure Reliability: Engineered to support high-pressure EFI fuel system requirements (up to 85+ PSI), making them ideal for turbocharged or supercharged LS applications.

High-Performance EFI Fuel Rails

Maintaining the fuel rail is critical for ensuring consistent pressure in any EFI system. Below are professional answers to the most common installation and troubleshooting questions.

The fuel rail is a high-pressure manifold (usually a metal tube or pipe) used to deliver fuel to the individual fuel injectors in an internal combustion engine. In an EFI system, the fuel rail acts as a reservoir, ensuring that all injectors receive fuel at the exact same pressure, preventing cylinder-to-cylinder fuel starvation.

In most modern fuel systems, the fuel rail pressure sensor (FPS) is located directly on one end of the fuel rail. It is typically a small electronic component with a 3-pin or 4-pin electrical connector. Its job is to monitor the internal pressure and send real-time data to the ECU to adjust the fuel pump speed.

Removing a fuel line requires safety and the right technique to avoid damaging the EFI system:
Step 1: Depressurize. Remove the fuel pump fuse and run the engine until it stalls.
Step 2: Identify the Connection. Most modern rails use quick-release clips or spring-lock connectors.
Step 3: Use the Tool. Insert a fuel line disconnect tool into the coupling to release the internal spring.
Step 4: Pull. Gently pull the line away from the fuel rail while keeping the tool pressed in. Always keep a rag handy to catch residual gasoline.

How to reset the fuel rail pressure sensor?

You cannot 'manually' reset the physical sensor, but you can reset the error codes it triggers:

Step 1: Use an OBD-II scanner to clear any "Fuel Rail Pressure" related codes (e.g., P0191).
Step 2: Disconnect the car battery for 15-30 minutes to reset the ECU's learned fuel trims.
Step 3: Cycle the ignition to the "ON" position (without starting) three times to prime the fuel rail and allow the ECU to re-calibrate the sensor readings.

Preform Carb

Better than I expected, the EVIL ENERGY carburetor runs well right after starting, and the polished surface looks finely finished, not like it was unevenly polished by a buffing wheel.
