Thread: Fuel Hardline Identification

Hey all,

I am in the final push to get my new engine hooked up, but it was over 18 months ago that I unhooked the fuel lines, and I have had no luck searching the info out on the old site, nor in the FSM.

I know there are three lines; the pressurized line, the return line, and the evap. line. Referenced from the front of the car looking into the engine bay, what is the order of the lines?

Thanks for anyone who can help!

the fuel filter is coming from the feed line, which connect to the rail. The fuel pressure regulator hooks on to the return line... if you don't have the fuel filter connected to the hard line, I'll look in my engine bay tomorrow morning and see if I can find that out.

Thanks, Tokes! That is part of the puzzle. What I am after is the identification of those hard lines, as I disconnected everything to paint the engine bay (I couldn't see dropping a sweet looking engine into a mess).

not sure if this will help at all...

Thanks, man! I just need the order that the lines are hooked up in, like the fuel filter hooks up to the middle hardline, the return line is the first from the left, that kind of thing.

This is from my UK N14 Sunny GTI. NX is in the garage for the winter, but both cars should be the same.

Looking at the firewall:

Left = Charcoal canister/evap
Middle = Return
Right = Feed

Kishada, thanks for the reply! I was at the pick-a-part yesterday, and had a moment to look at an NX1600, and saw they had it set up just as you say, so I will consider that confirmed. Between this and the diagrams for the fuel, evap and vacuum systems, I am all set now!

Thanks to all who chimed to help! Startup on the new engine is so close I can taste it!

you can skip the whole charcoal canister and leave that pipe open, or put a small hose on it to point it down.

Thanks for the tip, Brent. I think I am going to keep the canister in there, as it seemed to be not causing problems, although it would be another way to clean up the engine bay.
