Question for those who installed CSL Air Rails

[duracellttu]

I’m in the process of installing my CSL air rail. Part #17 below is a small U shaped vacuum hose that supposedly attaches to a line going to the fuel regulator. Mine wasn’t attached to anything. Am I going crazy or is there a line I’m just not seeing some place?

Any help is appreciated!

The line is probably hanging out behind the engine or something. The u shaped piece is held onto both the line and air rail by friction. No hose clamps or zip ties or anything of that sort, so it's easy to knock the line off by accident.

I accidentally knocked that line off during my CSL airbox install and drove around like that for a few days. Surprisingly, the car ran fine. Only caught it cause I wasn't finished messing with the airbox.

Thank you! Is the line I’m looking to mate to also a rubber vacuum hose or is it a hard line?

It's a flexible clear line with some black corrugated tubing over it. With the intake off, you should be able to follow it from the fuel pressure regulator to wherever it's sitting now.

Awesome, I’ll keep digging, thanks!

Hope it's not too hard to find!

Also, ECS and FCP both have pictures of a black line, but I swear I remember it being whiteish/clear. In any case, it's definitely enclosed in black corrugated tubing. Here's a picture of mine:



Mine seems to also be ziptied to the engine harness, but I can't remember if I put that there or if it was there from the factory (the terribly cut ziptie was definitely me lol). Worth checking if yours is ziptied to the engine harness though.

Found it! You were right, it’s clear with the black corrugated tubing over it. Just like you pictured mine was zip tied to the back of the harness, so I couldn’t see it.

Thanks for all the help!

Nice! Glad I could help
