stock fuel rail broke on rg twisted 8

[mydooxv]

Octane code flashed to day. Found that my stock fuel rail was loose,and spewing gas out all over. The angle clip that is welded to fuel rail broke right at the bend. Of Corse this allowed the injector to push off. I managed to zip tie the rail back in place so I could ride the rest of the day.but before the end of the day both angle clips had broke. So more zip ties .
Can't see why this would happen. No stress on rail that I can tell.

Any one else have this prob.

What fuel pressure are you running? Is there any stress from how you routed your fuel line to rail? What pressure under boost are you seeing? Do you have anything ziptied to rail? Post a pic.

Running 39 psi at idle. Injector wires zip tied to rail nothing else.
I wonder if I bent the brackets some how wile installing the throttle body? ...don't know for sure. If so the metal could have become fatigued or brittle. Also shains new billet secondary injector unit removes the stock rubber boots.I think this may cause more vibration through out the whole intake. Including the fuel rail.
Not to bag on the design .... love it !!!!!!!

The solid mounting would cause more vibe to your rail and it being fairly hard steel may be the issue. Try wrapping split rubber hose around main part of rail to absorb the vibe.
