Re: LY6 Fuel System questions

I'll warn against using the old design Russel quick disconnect fittings. There have been batches of them that have popped off causing engine fires etc. My pressure fitting popped off (return style system) at the rail and pumped gas right onto the headers. I caught it ASAP and avoided damage but its a sketchy ass problem and Russel REFUSES to aknowledge or recall the problem, despite many cases of total loss (see ls1tech thread on the topic) The re-released the design with a screw on retainer that makes it impossible to pop off.

Not trying to scare you, but it scared the hell out of me.
