How much fuel is actually coming out of the fuel return on the rail?! From memory mine had hardly any due to the system not pressuring properly due to the splits in the seals. If it is that you can replace it but know some people just take it off and fit a fuel hose instead!!!
How much fuel should be coming out? I havent got anything to check pressure. I only checked at the inlet to the fuel rail and turned on the ignition. A healthy looking amount came out but i didn't measure it. I had the pump out recently enough chasing another problem and i dont recall there being a damper on it. The way things are looking though its possibly a pump problem of some sort so im gonna have to drop the tank again. I can have a look at the damper then.
