Hello,
1994 UR-S4 here.
Disconnected my engine fuel lines to replace the leaky braided hoses... now I can't recall which goes where (forgot to notice).
Of the 2 lines coming from the firewall (one from the drivers side, one from the pass-under the plastic cover), which one goes to the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail (rear of the rail), which one connects to the tube traveling to the front of the rail?
Thanks for answering.

Yes, thanks.
So Front of rail is high pressure, rear is return line under the FPR.
BTW both my OE lines were dripping from under the SS metal collars. After cutting the collars off, looked like the hose from Specter, with a poor fittings- no clamps actually on the lines.
Simple barbed tubing connections underneath the hose-- nothing special.
I replaced hose with Aeroquip -4AN socketless hose with FI clamps, covered them with some NASCAR heat sleeves. Now better than factory. Having the Fuel injectors refreshed at the same time. EZPZ
Each factory hose is 10.5" - total cost for replacement hose was <$10.

Okay. I wuz wrong. Those hoses are FUG-A-LEE.
Why do you have the silver foam covering on them? Trying to mimic the OE braid? There is not a heat issue on that side so I suggest that you remove that ugly silver foam. And what is with the tin foil at the front end of the fuel rail? Around the cam position sensor connector to do what? Get better TV reception?

NASCAR heat sleeves...it just works, if you've never seen it before, you don't know what it is. Probably overkill, but there must be a reason that the factory braided that crappy rice-burner hose.
I can get HD-satellite with that foil!
Actually, its AL-foil tape, since nothing else I have sticks in this temp, and it holds the broken harness together quite securely until warmer weather.

Did not even try to source factory pieces out, once I cut the braided ones off and saw the barb ends, the solution was simple.
