All,

I'm at the VIR and my 951's fuel rail is leaking!

Sasco is currently trying to repair it. If they are unable to get it fixed, what are my options? I see Lindsey has a billet rail which is relatively inexpensive, but the complete kit is $600. Is this my best option for a track car?

Or should I just find a used fuel rail?

Buy used. Try Ebay, Try Oklahoma Foreign Parts 800-462-2446, ask for Gary

You're lucky you caught it in time. Good luck finding a replacement quickly.

Always bring a spare to the track in the future!

JoshB in GA should have a spare.

I don't know too much about 951s and their engine setup, but I have a '86 (I believe) 944 n/a spare if you need it?

I'm in NC with a spare if you go the used route

I have the rail from an 87 S sitting here if you need it, but not too close to you

Make it a point to get rid of the stock fuel rail soon. They've started many, many fires, and they've burned too many cars to the ground. They're old; will all leak eventually, and with 3 bar of pressure, fuel can spray everywhere. You're fortunate to have caught the one you have. Good going.

Thanks, all!

There was a happy ending... Sasco was able to weld around one of the two main brackets (U-shaped cross section) and fix the leak. I was able to get back on track by 1 PM on day 1, and didn't miss a thing on day 2.

I dropped 3 seconds on day 1 from my previous best, and another half second on day 2. So I'm now down to a 2:13.1!

And I will definitely get a couple of replacement fuel rails. Thanks!!!

What do you think of the track with the new pavement?

I like what they've done! It seems smoother, safer, faster, and racier all at the same time. I will miss the Oak Tree at the start/finish line, but I understand why they did it. I like the fact that exiting both 3 and Oak Tree, you have the option to cross the rumble strip, although that may or may not be faster.

Lesson learned!

Get a CEP fuel rail and you're sorted. They are a work of art
