    I am a new member and have never posted before, but I have a problem. My fuel inlet line has sprung a leak and I am trying to replace it but can not find a picture/diagram of how the line is attached at the fuel rail. Specifically the mounting bracket at the fuel rail end that is attached to the line. I have removed the intake but still can not see the bracket that holds it to the engine. There is a plastic box/tube that apparently contains fuel injector electrical lines in the way. I can feel it, but can not feel any nut that would hold it.
    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

    The injector rail is connected with a banjo, 19mm and tee to a soft line coming from the driver side head. If that's what you're referring to.

    Yes, that end…but on the line there is a small bracket that is somehow connected to the engine.
    I don’t know how or where it connects (can’t see it ) to the engine about 6” from the banjo bolt.

    10mm head

    Bolted to the intake manifold IIRC. Tight squeeze to access.

    Ok, I get it - the right fuel regulator mounting bolts. Thank you very much. It’s crazy
    because you can not see any of this!

    Clean your pinkies real good, place the tube as close to its connection as you can, and then feel around the back of the intake manifold for the hole. A flashlight and a small mirror might help you see the hole.

    (You might put a little hair around that area to help get the bolt started :devil:)
