looking for a fuel rail
Does anyone have a fuel rail, without the injectors or regulators for a 1984 944. The previous owner (PO) somehow cracked the steel line that goes from the square part of the rail to the regulator. I would silver soider it, but I can't get the fumes out. I do not want to blow myself up !!!

Can't you blow it out with an air hose or fill it with water to displace the fumes? Then drain if you go the water route and do the silver soldering, brazing or whatever.

I don't think that the weater will sufficiently clean the fumes. If I were to leave the water in while attempting to weld or solder, if would draw the heat away and also contaminate the cracked joint.

cake,
I've got one. but it's from a later car. actually i'm not exactly sure what year it's from. I bought a parts car that had been partially stripped by the PO and the engine was one of the parts removed. i found an intake manifold, with fuel rail in the trunk. But, i think all the NA ones were the same. I have an '84, so i could at least take a look and see if they look the same If you think it'll fit e-mail me off the board firnhaber@juno.com [This message has been edited by mike944 (edited 07-14-2001).] [This message has been edited by mike944 (edited 07-14-2001).] |

If you fill it completely with water, the fumes have to leave. This sort of stuff is done all the time in the chemical industry where vessels hold thousands of cubic feet of highly flammable materials. When they begin leaking due to the corrosiveness of material or metal fatigue or whatever, they are purged, then welded from the inside and outside to insure a full penetration weld. This is a common procedure.
