I'm doing a full 3L for someone and have one simple question. via searching it would appear that there are some issues with fabbed 3L fuel rails. Can you run braided fuel hose from the stock 3L rail to your stock lines?? if so why is everyone having so many problems. and has anyone tried this?
thanks

Read more. You'll realise you NEED to cut and weld do to
1) some contours being return-style, whereas the +00 Taurus are all retrunless
2) The taurus recieves the fuel from the passenger side and the Contour from the drivers side.

Trust me, if butchering the rail could be avoided with a simple hose, we'd have done it by now.
