I think I connected my fuel lines wrong on my sr20 but I can't find any diagrams or close up pictures to verify. Does the line from the fuel filter connect to the FPR? My gas tank makes a weird "phhhh sound" and releases pressure when I open the gas cap and I think this may be causing it. Does someone have a diagram or close up picture to verify?

ok thanks. Thats how it is currently connected. I wonder what is causing my gas tank to build up pressure and sound like im opening a soda bottle? Does anyone have this problem?

It strange because It didn't do that before when I had the sohc KA and when I swaped to an SR it did that. I think it might be that black vapor canister that I removed because that was hooked up to the fuel tank also.

the gas tank does that because it builds "negative" pressure inside the tank and when you open the gas cap to the outside air "positive" pressure it makes that whooshing sound for pressure equalization. my car did it when it had the ka in it and so have all my other cars.

okay that makes me feel better.

Ive got 19" bbs lM replicas that I bought from a 350Z owner. I have no clue what the actual brand is.
