    Fuel Rail Rust?

    I had a fuel leak from the some fuel lines that I had to take the intake manifold off to get to. When I got that off I noticed this. I'm guess the rail is not stainless and that's why it is rusting a little. Should this be replaced.

    I see no reason to replace it at that stage. In fact, many M42 experience rust im the same spot. At most I'd clean the rust and paint the rail.

        Thanks. I'll do that before putting everything back together.
