   Attached is a pic  of the stock Renesis main fuel rail.

   Its lines both attach near the center, and it has a device that
   appears to be a pressure damper.  It is relatively heavy, and really
   should be converted to AN fittings instead of the stock plumbing.

   Does it seem reasonable to remove the damper and the center port, and
   just use AN-6 fittings running in and out of each end?  This would
   lighten it considerably.

   AN fittings are good insurance.

Yes, it's a pulsation damper.  The RX-8 uses a single non-returning line
fuel system with the pressure regulator located in the fuel tank with
the pump.  Please let me know if you need any diagrams, etc. of the
original system.

I would like to have them Mark if you have them scanned in. I have them in
the RX8 shop manual but not scanned in yet.
