Below are several pictures of the fuel lines from the fuel distributor to the Warm Up Regulator and my question is... at what specific locations do i hook up my pressure test guage lines? I understand the line without the valve connects to the center line at the fuel distributor (first picture where I'm pointing). But at what specific location does the line with the valve hook to?

Center outlet fuel line of fuel distributer



T-junction of fuel lines



Line to the Warm Up Regulator from the fuel distributer



Warm Up Regulator and connecting Line

So which picture that I have posted specifically does the pressure tester line with the valve get connected to? I have read this How To artical and it states:

" the hose on the valve side should be connected to the hose removed from the fuel distributor (which is the feed line to the WUR)."

I guess i am pretty slow, but i require specifics, i don't wish to be disconnecting lines and start the fuel pump and have fuel backing up through unconnected hoses.

And Let me say thanks for the picture. This becomes much clearer. Seems like my 1982 924na is different. You can see from my picture than your setup or maybe everyone elses porsche in the world. The way your set up is that from the fuel dissy there is a banjo fitting that leads directly to the WUR. Not so with mine (it is factory, no one messed with it i know because i have owned since new).

Mine goes from the center of the fuel dissy to an aluminum junction. The lines in and out are the typical banjo fittings, one on top of the other. My assumption is that this aluminum junction is hollow. This aluminum piece or junction has at the bottom a cylinder about 3/4 inch diameter and an inch long with an electrical connection, guessing this is a pressure sensor. Off the side of this tee junction a line goes to another electrical sensor as well as there is a line back to the fuel dissy.

For lack of any other advise what i plan to do is simply connect the pressure tester in-between the centeroutlet of the fuel dizzy and the line i removed. Unfortunatly this line is not simply a single line going to the WUR, it goes other directions, but i cannot believe they would have designed it to not be able to test the fuel pressure.

by the way are you able to see my pictures, want to make sure i posted them correctly.
