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.

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.

If the RX-8 indeed uses a non-returning line fuel system (and I'm *not*
claiming otherwise), then what's the second fitting on the fuel rail
for?
