Has anyone, fitted a non OEM or /upgraded fuel dampener?

 

I currently need to replace the braided fuel (and the OEM dampener). The braided fuel line attaches to the fuel filter with a AN fitting, I would like a AN fitting to attach to the fuel dampener as well. So whether its a OEM dampener with some sort of adapter fitting or an aftermarket damper with an AN I don'T really mind. So long as it gets rid of the current jubilee style clamp that is on there at the moment.

 

Or could I just delete the dampener?

 

FYI - I am already running a Aeroquip FPR

Howard, speak to Nick, I know he's running AN fittings, he might have an idea regarding the fuel dampener.

Which Aeroquip FPR your running mate?

 

As to the question about running a dampener or not, it kinda depends on the diaphragm in your FPR. If it’s a big enough diaphragm, then it will be able to sufficiently dampened the pulses from the pump/opening and shutting of the injectors. One of the reasons I chose my Turbosmart FPR was down to its design and its ability to act as a fuel dampener aswell as an FPR

 

Given that your car is already mapped, I’d be more inclined to run a dampener than not as the pulses I mention can effect injector characteristics.

 

So you have two options in my opinion. An after market Dampener (Radium Engineering make a nice bit of kit) or you buy a weld on AN fitting and modify the OE dampener.

 

Which fuel rails are you running?
