Default Difference in fuel rails

What's the differences between 2wd and 4wd fuel lines?

2wd has a pipe between fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator.

4wd doesn't

there may be more i'm sure others will be here soon

edit: i read that wrong didn't i (fail) thought it said fuel rail

4x4 has different connections IIRC? Also has that curly section in the return line lol

PS do you mean rails or lines? The thread title is rails, but the first post is about lines?

As said main difference is the attachment of the pressure reg, being by pipe on 2wd and bolted to the end section on 4wd.

Woops its meant to be rail. I have just got a 4wd inlet with no rail on and wanted to know if I can use my original one.

No, lugs on 4 wd inlet are not in same place as 2wd inlet. You can't fit straight.
