are you inectors squirting out oil? thats the first place to look at for gas leak.....make sure that all o ring are seated properly, and i good condition....this is most likely the cause of your problem....

i would say custom for sure.....just curious, why do you need a larger fuel rail to stop a gas leak from that area.....my buds and I did a supercharger install for another guy, and he had a gas leak like dumping gas on the ground....turned out it was the o ring seals on the injectors.....

usually its the o-ring not sitting right, but still I don't see the reason for a larger fuel rail?

Question why do you need a larger fuel rail? I am pretty sure Zpi and Dezod are using the oem fuel rails. If you want more pressure and volume get a 255 LPH fuel pump.

yeah, cause usually the primary place for gas leaks around there are from the injectors.....it is really important to have the seals sit right, etc or it will squirt oil, and pool in the engine bay.....i doubt that it is your fuel rail, since the injectors squirt out looking like the rail is leaking.....

lol nah guys its nothing like that... ok i pulled off the supercharger and reset a junked ecu. the reset ecu is running a crazy map...my car is keeping up with g35 coups the new ones and with just a short ram intake... i know theyre slow but...a basically stock tc>??? neway for some reason this map is dumping fuel and the damper cant hold it with the stock injectors...its backing up.(damper is the piece that is bolted to the fuel rail and the fuel hose. metal tank with a plastic cap) its leaking from both ends of that...and took time for it to start leaking. i tried putting in the supercharger injectors but lost the power...and after a while the engine started knocking...to rich i guessed, put back the stock still leaking. so i figured bigger reservoir for fuel no leak....

Figure out some way to have a return fuel line into the tank and you won't have that problem.
